So, complements of QuickBurst, we have another little contest for our users...
What's the contest, and how do you enter? It's so easy, even a moderator can do it! (and yes, all members, including mods and admins, are welcome to participate)
How's it work? Read this thread, https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?t=11427 which details what will be my fourth (yes, fourth) Level 3 attempt, and predict the altitude. Closest to the actual altitude as determined by the on-board altimeters (MAWD first, G-Wiz HCX in case the MAWD doesn't cooperate), without going over wins the prize!
A couple errata... First, no private questions -- all information about the rocket that is public is in that build thread. Rocket, motor, etc. I won't answer any private questions about specs -- everyone gets the same info.
In case of a significant failure (motor CATO, airframe failure, etc) there will be no winner. There must be a "fairly nominal" flight -- if there's a recovery system failure, but the altimeters still provide information, then the contest is still on.
How do you enter? Post your prediction to this thread. If two people post the same number, the first post gets that number, and the second must pick a new number.
So, what do you have the potential to win?
Addendum: Submissions must be posted by midnight September 2nd, US Central time. Any posts/edits after that date/time will not be accepted.
