    Opinions solicited regarding proposal for Horizontal Spin Recovery Duration as a NAR competition event

    You wrote previously that " virtually no NAR Sections actually fly competition anymore." The data that you claim to have researched, but not provide, says nothing as to section activity in competition.

    During a vNARCON I ask J Barrowman where the 1 caliber comes from and I think he said its just what people have used....I dont rely on it alone.

    I would love to see this done, but I think motor variation may mask any results

    Opinions solicited regarding proposal for Horizontal Spin Recovery Duration as a NAR competition event

    I am not here to argue design philosophy.....the thread is about the possibility of a provisional event.

    D12-X Ejection Ceramic Cap problem and solution

    Have you filled out the NAR forms online for an engine malfunction / CATO? Have you notified Estes?...they may compensate you for the motors and or models in the case of a CATO. It would seem that Estes would also be interested in your x-rays of motors.

    Estes Rockets giving it to retailers

    Before you pass judgement on the future of Estes, I think that should get to know the Langford family. Since their purchase of Estes, i think the company has improved vastly to listen to the concerns of rocketeers. Go to a NARAM or NSL and meet some of the family and staff, I think you might...
