Your contest rockets must have either your name or NAR number on the
exterior surface. For teams, the team name or number must be displayed.

Reloadable Motors

**Only reload kits that are presented in factory, new, unopened packages
may be used. Sealed reload packages will not be required for inspection
at the contest. The type of reload kit, the motor case designation, and the
letters "RMS" must be recorded on the flight card.

Events

Random Duration -- The Contest Director will randomly select a duration
time between 30 -120 seconds (in multiples of 5 seconds) before the first
flight of the contest. Launch a rocket and attempt to achieve the randomly
selected duration time. You are allowed one flight in this event. You must
fly this event before flying any other duration event.

1/4A Boost Glider Duration -- Launch a boost glider with a 1/4A motor.
The model may separate into multiple pieces, only the gliding portion is
timed. Any separated part must have a recovery device, e.g., an ejected
motor must have a recovery device attached.) Achieve the longest
duration. You are allowed two qualified flights. The durations from
both flights are added together for a total time.

C Streamer Duration -- Launch a rocket with a C motor and using a
streamer for recovery. Achieve the longest duration. You are allowed
two qualified flights. The streamer must have a length- to-width ratio
of five to one (5:1) or greater and have a minimum area of 100 square
centimeters. The streamer and model must be connected by only a single
line or cord, attached at the narrow end of the streamer. The cord may
not be connected to either the streamer or the model at more than one
point (e.g., no yokes are permitted). The streamer may not be cut, slit,
or otherwise altered in such a manner as to affect its nature as a
simple connected plane. The durations from both flights are added
together for a total time.

D Helicopter Duration -- Launch a rocket with a D motor and using
autorotation recovery. Achieve the longest duration. You are allowed
two qualified flights. Each entry must be decelerated during descent by
its autorotating recovery device. The resulting autorotation must be
around the vertical axis. A model that descends nose first, or flips
over once during descent is permitted. A model that flips over more
than once shall be disqualified. The durations from both flights are
added together for a total time.

F Super-Roc Altitude -- Launch a Super-Roc with an F motor and achieve
the largest score. Your score is the altitude of your rocket in meters
times the length of your rocket in centimeters. For F Super-Roc the
minimum length of the rocket is 200 centimeters, while the maximum
length is 400 centimeters. An entry that comes apart, bends so as to
crimp the body, or has a similar structural failure prior to ejection
shall be disqualified. Entries with bodies or significant structural
parts made from hard or potentially unsafe material (e.g., hardwood
doweling or fiberglass shafts) shall not be allowed. You are allowed
two qualified flights and the single best flight is used for scoring.
