Our contest director has corrected me: there is no open spot landing planned for MudRoc, it will be B-motor streamer duration, instead. Sorry for the confusion. If you have a rocket that can fly on a B motor and if it can be outfitted with a fat streamer, you're in business. The Alpha rockets Pat Struthers helped folks build will be perfect for this event.

Regards,

Glenn

Glenn,

A clarification. The third event in the sanctioned competition is B streamer duration. We can run spot landing as a non-sanctioned event if you would like to do so.

Tri-Cities Rocketeers Launch
Saturday, March 24, 2012
10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Pasco, WA
Map: http://g.co/maps/f2mn4

We would like to welcome you and your family to the first Blue Mountain Rocketeers' (BMR) launch of the season, MudRoc<http://www.bmr615.org/mud_roc.htm> (so named because of the traditional weather). This is a one-day launch activity. It is free and open to the public. Even if you do not have a rocket to fly, join us and fly one from the Team Battelle "Lending Library" of rockets. We still have free engines for flyers, and we welcome rocketeers of all ages to join us.

We plan to hold our first nationally sanctioned rocket events at this meet. The events are: 1) Set Duration: trying to get as close as possible to 50 seconds total flight time, 2) Egg-lofting high altitude (D, E, and F motors) and 3) Open Spot Landing: trying to land on a precise spot.

Activities are weather dependent, so the Tri-Cities Rocketeers plan to host a backup location for the competition in case of inclement weather at a local launch in north Pasco the following weekend, March 24. A weather decision will be made by noon Thursday.<http://bmr615.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=events&action=display&thread=244&page=1> We hope you will join us at one or both launches for family fun and science.

MudRoc is canceled this weekend due to excessive mud making the launch site inaccessible. The contest will be moved to the following Saturday in Pasco at the sod farm launch site. So you have one more week to get your egg lofters and streamer rockets ready. :-) Hope to see you there!
