2023 World Spacemodeling Championship will be in the U.S.

[Gus]

Really thrilled to announce that the 2023 FAI World Spacemodeling Championship will be held in Austin, Texas. This is the first time in 31 years the event will be held in the U.S.

That is so cool. I might have to fly down to Austin just to see the action.

If you are going to come, you might as well compete. An Estes Big Bertha meets the 40 mm size requirements for the "tube events." But if you want to be a bit more competitive, Apogee Components, has great FAI kits and launch equipment. Hope to see you there!

I will have to drive down to see this. Highly unlikely there will ever be a WC any closer to me.

Just be aware that the FS Comp does not (yet) meet all the FAI altimeter requirements. I believe that's in the plan, but it's not there now.
