Predicted Duration
Predict (in seconds) the duration which your entry will achieve. The minimum allowable duration prediction is 30 s. You must record your duration prediction at the scorer's table prior to any flight. This event must be the first flight of the day for each competitor.
Predicted Altitude (with altimeter)^
Predict (in metres) the altitude to which your entry will be flown. The minimum allowable altitude prediction is 100 m. You must record your altitude prediction at the scorer's table prior to any flight. This event must be the second flight of the day for each competitor and must use a different rocket than the one used for Predicted Duration.
S.W.A.R.M. Spot Landing
This is a special S.W.A.R.M. only competition! Launch 3 of your rockets simultaneously (in a swarm!) and have them land as close together as possible. The shortest distance from nosecone to nosecone to nosecone (in a triangle) is the winner.
B Altitude (with altimeter)^
Achieve the highest altitude by making 1 or 2 flights on B-engine rockets carrying an altimeter. The higher of the two flights will be your score.
A Parachute Duration
Achieve the highest combined flight time by making 2 flights on A-engine rockets. Each rocket must use parachute recovery.
The other three NRC events for 2020-2021 may also be flown and results will be submitted to the National Scoreboard. These events are:
1/4A Streamer Duration
Achieve the highest combined flight time by making 2 flights on 1/4A-engine rockets. Each rocket must use streamer recovery.
1/2A Rocket Glider Duration
Achieve the highest combined flight time by making 2 flights on 1/2A-engine rockets. Each rocket must convert from its boost form to a glider for recovery without separating.
A Helicopter Duration
Achieve the highest combined flight time by making 2 flights on A-engine rockets. Each rocket must use helicopter recovery.
B Eggloft Altitude
Achieve the highest altitude by making 1 or 2 flights on B-engine rockets carrying a large hen's egg and recovering it undamaged. The higher of the two flights will be your score.
Sport Scale
^SWARM does have altimeters available for use. A deposit is required and a small fee may be charged for rental.
Non-SWARM members in C and D divisions are asked to pay a $10 fee on the day of the competition.
Competitors must be NAR members See ww.nar.org for information on joining. If you would like help joining the NAR, just come to the launch and a SWARM member will be pleased to help You will still be able to compete at this year's Harvest Classic.
