June 27, 2009 MASA Regional Contest launch report (6/28/2009)
On Saturday, June 27th, MASA held its first
NAR Sanctioned Regional
Contest. Mike Erpelding served as the contest director.
[Thanks for all your hard work putting together this contest, Mike!]
This was originally planned as a 2-day contest. However,
weekend weather forced some last minute changes. Due to rain
and thunderstorms, Saturday's start time was delayed until noon, and
the contest ended up running until 8pm. The regular MASA sport
launch that was also scheduled for Saturday was pushed back one
week. With high winds forecast for Sunday, the second day of
flying was dropped.
The afternoon was pretty breezy with winds generally out of the
west. The strongest breeze was in the mid-afternoon. It
did start dropping off after about 6pm. With the many duration
events, there were a lot of long walks off to the east. More
than a few people ended up traipsing through the cornfields in
search of errant rockets.
The events were:
- A Streamer Duration (A SD)
- ½A Parachute Duration Multi-Round (1/2A PD MR)
- D Dual Egg Loft Duration (D DED)
- B Boost Glide (B BG)
- Random Duration (40 seconds) (RDD)
- Open Spot Landing (OSL)
Thanks to everyone who came out and competed!
A couple people also put up a handful of [non-contest] sport
flights.

MASA members - please send in your thoughts about the
launch!

For spot landing, I dug out a vintage KosRox MASA "Streadur"
and flew it on a 1/2A6-2. I didn't do particularly well,
but I did beat Ted by about 5 inches. <grin> For random
duration, I took a WAG and flew an Astron Sprint (clone) on a
B6-6. This very much undershot the target time. :-(
I should have used a C engine, or swapped out the streamer for a
12" chute.
For A SD, I first tried a bt-5 sized contest rocket built
from a plan on the NAR web site. This flew on a A3-4t with
a 4x40" contest streamer. This flight looked awesome, but
it landed far, far off to the east. I figured that I had a
one-in-a-million chance of finding it and returning it.
First, I walked to the next sod field to pick up my Sprint.
What do I see lying on the sod? A used A3-4t. My
used A3-4t. Despite having used up my one-in-a-million
chance by stumbling across my own spit motor casing, I went
looking for my errant rocket anyway. After a long walk...
I didn't find it. I did do the honorable thing and told
Mike to DQ my flight for spitting the engine. While I had
a duplicate rocket, I knew that I had to return my second
flight, so I flew an old sport model on an A3-4t.
Unfortunately, the streamer got stuck and never opened.
For 1/2A PD, I did a safe flight first - my Semroc Sky Hook
on a 1/2A3-4t and a 12" chute. This worked fine, but
didn't get a very good time. For my second flight, I used
another bt-5 sized contest rocket with a 12" chute and another
1/2A3-4t. This worked pretty well and got a relatively
decent time, so I tried the same thing again.
Unfortunately, the chute stuck in the body tube on my final
flight.
For D dual eggloft, I had taken an old Estes Scrambler (built
in 1994) and modified it a bit. It flew on a D21-4 with a
30" Aerotech nylon chute. Unfortunately, my Ax-Man
shoelace shock cord snapped at ejection. The parachute
floated off by itself [Jeff found it later. Thanks Jeff!],
the egg capsule did a freefall [ouch - omelet city], and the
bottom section of the rocket disappeared - perhaps landing in
one of the ditches.
For B boost glide, I tried a safe flight first - an Edmonds
CiCi on a B4-2. I had taped a short piece of streamer onto
the motor to make it contest-legal. This flew okay, but
not great. For my second flight, I tried an Edmonds Deltie-B
on a B4-2. This flew fairly well. Due to the wind, I
hadn't been able to do any good test tosses and had finally just
decided to go for it!
To wrap up my day, I got in one sport flight - a Sputnik on a
C6-0.

For those of you who were not able to make yesterday's
contest launch you missed a great opportunity.
This was my first regional competition and I entered 5 of the
6 competitions for the day. As many of you know I am primarily a
sport flier thus most of my models were not very competitive,
but I sure had fun!
First launch was for spot landing and I pulled out a big
heavy rocket whose name I cannot recall, but it was a kit that
had a parasite glider attached to it when new. It is a BT-56
with a yellow fin can and nose cone with the launch lug being
integral with the fin can. I put an A8-3 in it so it wouldn't go
too high and the plan was to drop it right on the orange marker
cone in the middle of the field. Oops, not quite high enough,
but a safe and qualified flight. One event down.
Next up was random duration and the time to match was 40
seconds. My reasoning went something like this: I don't want to
walk too far (ha) and I want to be close to the time, so I will
put up a rocket with a big enough motor that falls pretty fast.
So I pulled out my old Satellite Launcher that had been upgraded
last year to accept 24 mm engines. I took out a D12-5 and
went for the gusto. I should have gone with a C11, as it got too
high and drifted into the corn.
Ah the cornfield, what can I say about the more than 2 hour
interlude spent there? I went in looking for my rocket and came
out with three rockets, a fin and a duck. The first rocket I
found was pretty much junk as it had been rained on many times.
It was a tube finned Phoenix and the only things left from it
that could be reused were the plastic nose cone and the engine
hook.
I then found Ted's Nike Ajax hanging on a stalk in the deeper
corn. (It was an interesting field to walk through as the corn
varied in height from just sprouting all the way up to my chest,
depending on ground conditions and moisture content.) I was
starting to get hopeful in finding mine as I found these two
less than 5 minutes apart and after looking for about 45
minutes.
I then saw and picked up a large blue fin made of airplane
plywood that had been there for a spell, maybe overwintered. I
came across and left the remains of an orange or red plastic
nosecone that had been shattered into a bazillion pieces. After
about an hour and a half of doing grids and not finding my
rocket where I thought it should be I changed my strategy. From
the edge of the field furthest from the flying range I took a
heading and went straight in from the point on the horizon I had
determined from back at the launch site. I walked back through
the same area I had already covered not wanting to leave any
leaf not looked under. Didn't find it - rats! So after almost
two hours of searching I was thirsty and figured I must have
missed it in my grids so I was going to head in and fly some
more and if there was time, look for it some more at the end of
the day. So I took a slightly different line to head back out of
the corn and take one last sweep. Again I lined myself up with
the launch equipment and the spot on the horizon I used as a
bearing and started walking through the corn one last time. I'm
at least three-quarters of the way through the field and I spy
something off to the left that definitely did not look like it
belonged in the middle of a cornfield. Yep, it was a Mallard
duck decoy laying on it's side. What!? Well I thought to myself
at least the club will have a mascot. Now as I think about it,
maybe we should put it in the treasure chest that goes to the
best newsletter if we don't keep it again this year. Anyways,
back to the saga of the corn. Knowing that there was no way my
rocket could have gone this far into the cornfield but staying
on my track so as to know where not to look when I came back,
what a surprise to find that my rocket was only in the cornfield
about 20 rows from the furthest end from the launch site, but
close to the line of site I had made. Boy are my eyes
getting bad or what? So I trek out of the corn, get out on the
road and scuff off the mud encrusted to the bottom of my boots
feeling generally good about the time spent in the cornfield.
Back to the contest. Next up for me was A Streamer Duration.
Earlier in the week I had taken an inventory of what I had
already built at home and decided to use Bugsy, a BT-55 rocket
that uses mini-engines for both this event and the 1/2 A
Parachute Duration multi-round. I knew it was clunky, but I was
pretty much assured of safe returnable flights. I used an A3-4T
on the first streamer flight and an A10-3T on the second flight.
Second flight was definitely longer. I made the steamer from red
mylar that had been used to wrap a present from this last year's
holiday party - as someone volunteered that it could be used as
such back then. It definitely packs tighter than plastic. I'll
need to do some more experimentation with this kind of recovery
system.
For the 1/2 A Parachute I used Bugsy again with an 18 inch
Estes mylar parachute and 1/2 A3-2T motors. The first flight got
dragged into the drink after landing, so the final two flights I
chased the rocket down before it had a chance to be dragged into
the first drainage ditch again. Four events down and one left to
go.
The final event I entered was D Dual Egg loft duration. The
only Egg lofter I had was an older Scrambler that I had won as a
door prize at one of the MASA picnics 5 or more years ago.
However, being built for 18 mm motors I was in a pickle. What to
do? Then I remembered that 7 or 8 years ago I bought some
engines in an on-line auction off of Rocketry Online and in the
mix was a package of D13-7 Aerotech reloads. At the time I
didn't have a casing of any kind, so I just let them set in my
inventory. Then a couple of years back an old MASA member wanted
to get out of rocketry (baby on the way) and offered to sell me
all his remaining rocketry gear which included the 18 mm casing.
So yesterday I put them together for the first time and flew my
first reloadable engine and had 100% success - kind of. The
engine went together as designed. It lit and flew as designed.
It blew the nose cone completly off the body tube, which I had
heard of but not planned for. So my rocket seperated in flight.
I returned the egg section with two unbroken eggs and the
sustainer with two broken off fins. It will be repaired to fly
again.
This was a fun afternoon and I want to say a BIG thank you to
Amber, Mike's wife, for giving this birthday present to Mike so
we could enjoy the day flying rockets and have a contest to
boot. I also wanted to say thanx to Theresa, Mike's sister who
assisted him in getting all the fliers their correct paperwork.
I was able to time some other competitor's flights and also
wanted to say thank you to those that timed my flights. I think
the only way I could have placed in any of these events would be
because there were 5 or less fliers in the event. But I gained a
lot of experience and learned a trick or two along the way as
well. All in all it was a good afternoon.
Dwayne Shmel writes:
My son and I arrived at the site around 1 PM or so. The sky
still looked ominous and the possibility of rain lingered in the
air, the wind was pretty steady and gusty, so we I decided to
sit on the sidelines for an hour or so. In the interim, we
watched some incredible flights, not the least of which was
Caleb's parachute duration flight. The rocket deployed it's
chute and started to fall
slowly to earth - then it caught a thermal and rose - it would
then level out - fall - and then rise again. The model repeated
this pattern until it was out of sight past the stand of trees
about a half
mile to the East. I timed over 4 minutes from launch until we
lost sight of it. We also witnessed Alan's streamer duration
rocket take a similar track to the East past (we think) the
cornfield and into the field just west of the farm. Alan can
fill us in on the details.
Since I was only prepared for two competitions (the dual egg
loft and B glider) I had some extra time and asked Mike if I
could set up my miss fire alley pad to the east and launch a few
sport flights (which were not so wind sensitive). Mike was
accommodating and I sent up a couple of AP models. I launched my
upscale DRM on an E18-4 and my V2 conversion on an E11-3. Both
flights were great and the walks were not too long (since I was
not going for any recovery duration time).
I decided that I needed to give the dual egg loft a shot. How
can you attend a competition and NOT compete? I built an Estes
Scrambler for the event and prepped an oversized mylar chute (a
rectangular configuration measuring 28" x 40"). I had trouble
stuffing the chute into the Scrambler's BT so I grabbed my newly
constructed Helicat which is also a BT-56 model. I figured the
extra room in the BT would suffice so I friction fitted the
D13-4 reload into the plastic motor, secured the eggs into the
nose cone with foam, and off we went.
After some delay on the pad waiting for a break in the wind
gusts, the little 18mm AP motor fired and the combo package went
up fast and straight - not as high as I had calculated -
probably because of the extra weight of the Helicat. The model
arced over and started it's decent. C'mon ejection charge - FIRE
!!! - please??? - fire?? Nope, the two eggs, plastic Scrambler
nose cone, and Helicat body become one large lawn dart. HEADS UP
Alan !!! SPLAT, the whole package disintegrated just a few yards
from Alan's truck. [There are no bonus points for
concussing the club president. - Alan] Both sections of the
plastic nose cone were scrunched and the BT section between them
destroyed. The forward section of the Helicat was damaged and
the mylar chute was protruding from a hole in the side. The
ejection charge DID go off, so all I can surmise is that the
chute was packed so tightly that it held its ground and kept the
deployment in check. Not sure if the rupture in the BT was
caused by the ejection charge escaping or by the impact. Who
knows. Or maybe it was a case of bad Karma since I chose eggs
that were numbered 013 and 014? Hmmmm.....
The wind never let up so I decided NOT to fly my Deltie B
glider. I did witness Lyle's great "outta site" flight of his
Deltie B. Again, we tracked it to the east through our
binoculars until it was no longer visible past the trees - a
testament to Lyle's aerodynamic construction techniques and
tweaking of his model.
I wanted to finish the day on a high note so I sent up my
Stormcaster on a C6-3. Nice flight and good recovery. We had fun
and look forward to competing next year.

I am not a contest flyer, but I wanted to support the club by
participating to help reach the adequate level NAR participants.
I started my preparations Saturday morning, ( I don’t believe
in procrastinating) . I had purchased a space blanket the night
before and I carefully crafted it into a nearly perfect 52”
Mylar parasheet for my Dual egg lofter (the egg lofter was a
prize from MASA drawing BTW). After testing it outside in the
not so gentle winds. It opened beautifully. So I Carefully
packed it and tried to put it in the lofter. No dice, it was way
too big. So after some thought I decided to cut a twelve inch
hole in the center of the chute. Still too big, so I kept
cutting, finally, with a 20 inch spill hole, it fit. I flew my
Rocket (dubbed “Non-Stick Coasting”) on a D12-5 for a near
perfect, and scored 59 seconds on the duration. For sport I flew
it again, but this time it weather-cocked and ejection was at
too high a velocity, causing the eggs to self eject. I got all
the parts back intact.
For the spot landing event I flew a 35 year old Estes Star
Snoop Gooney bird on an A3-4T for what I think my have been the
winning distance.
I used the same rocket/motor for my Random Duration shot (40
seconds) I guessed terribly and achieved only 18 seconds.
For the ½ A Parachute Duration I fared even worse. Not
thinking about whether the ½ A was a big enough motor for the
gooney bird, I ejected just above the ground to secure the Non-DQ
last place in the event. I can point to previous emails to prove
that I meant to do that. Mission Accomplished!
I think I did pretty well in the A Streamer duration. My
rocket was a half inch dart with fins I constructed from my old
business cards (Hence the moniker, “Resume Enclosed”). My times
were 54 and 49 seconds I think.
Lastly, for sport I flew my custom built “Tycho Express”
Rocket for a perfect flight on a D12-5.
All in all a great day. My thanks to all the contest
Organizers.
Ted Cochran writes:
I left the house thinking the day was going to be a short
one, and when I arrived at the field an hour later to see Alan
desperately trying to keep an easy-up from flying to Wisconsin,
my fears were reinforced. Much to my surprise, though, instead
of getting worse, the weather gradually improved throughout the
day, going from overcast with steady winds to sunny with
occasional lulls.
I tried to fly in every event. My spot lander was a Quest
Nike Smoke, which looked like a good flight until the parachute
fully opened 20' off the ground and pulled it 50' past the
target.
I flew the same Nike Smoke for duration on a 10" nylon chute;
it went long in both duration and distance, ending up in the
corn. I wandered around there for awhile but eventually gave up,
only to have Art find it later (Thanks again, Art!)
Since I thought at the time that the weather was only going
to get worse, I flew BG next. I flew my untrimmed Semroc Hawk
for its first flight ever on a B6-2 -- a gutsy move, to be sure.
I was pleased to see it boost very straight and pretty high, and
even more pleased to determine it was just as out of trim at
altitude as it was in ground testing, so I got it back for a
return. Flew it again with similar results.
I built most of my egglofter on Saturday morning--a BT-50
3FNC with a Pratt Hobbies dual egg loft capsule, all held
together with CA and masking tape. It flew pretty well, but the
chute was severely mangled after ejection (should have used a
D12-5), and the bottom egg broke.
I flew A streamer and 1/2A parachute using the same Semroc
Astron Drifter, which wasn't very competitive, but kept me out
of the corn. Didn't even try to do multiple flights, just a
qualified flight in each event.
Watching the flights by competitive fliers drift out of sight
was awesome!
Thanks, Mike, for organizing this event for us. I hope we do
it again next year!

Thank you to everyone who came and made MASA's first regional
contest a reality.
Special congratulations to Caleb Boe for setting a new
NATIONAL RECORD in B division A Streamer Duration.
That flight where Caleb hooked that thermal, with that silver
mylar streamer that was so easy to see, for 188 seconds. The old
record was 181 seconds set in 2000. Chad Ring will forward the
results on to the national records chairman for conformation. If
no one else beat Caleb's time recently and hasn't been recorded
yet, he will be in the NAR's record book!!!
There was one event that I had issues with from Saturday. It
was B BG. Caleb and Todd S. both entered some FAI style
boost gliders in this "B" motor event. The only problem was they
both used either a single 1/2A or A motor in these models. I was
fairly sure that these flights wouldn't count; but Todd thought
that flying an underpowered model would be self penalizing. We
left it up to Chad Ring to make the final call. I called
Chad a few times on Sunday. He returned my call around 8:30
Sunday night. These flights did not fall into the impulse range
of a "B" motor so they are unofficial flights; therefore they
"never happened". Using a cluster of 2- "A" motors would work
but not one.
It was a lot of fun. I hope we do it again!
Caleb Boe writes:
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the congratulations.
I guess I haven't sent in a personal account of the launch,
so here it is.
My mom an I arrived about 12:00. After setting up my
equipment, I flew set duration first. I did not have time
to practice for this event, so I just put a streamer in a rocket
and hoped for the best. Unfortunately, the streamer separated
resulting in a DQ.
Next up was parachute duration flight 1. My plan was to fly
this before thermal activity picked up so I could return the
rocket. It was overcast at this time, so I was hoping that there
would be no thermals. I guess I was wrong. The rocket was near
landing when it began to rise. Within a few minuted it had
drifted out of sight. Because of this, I was forced to make the
next two flights with one rocket. For the second flight I reefed
the chute up hoping to get the rocket back. It worked and was
recovered easily. Now that I had my return I put a 36 in. chute
in my rocket and it stayed aloft for about 1:20.
Next I flew streamer. I flew my first attempt earlier in the
day, but the flight was declared unofficial because the timers
lost track of the rocket at apogee. Shortly after, the rocket
was found and a quick inspection revealed that the foam ejection
plug was too tight and the back end of the rocket was blown off
as a result. Thankfully, since the flight had already been
declared unofficial, I was allowed a replacement flight. My
first official streamer flight landed in the cornfield across
the road. My mom was out in the field searching and as I was on
my way to help, I walked right into the rocket. That was the
quickest I have ever found a rocket in a cornfield!
Unfortunately, I discovered that the motor had ejected (I forgot
to tape in into the rocket). However, this turned out to be a
blessing in disguise as I will explain later. Thank you to Jeff
Taylor for giving my mom a ride to the cornfield and for giving
both of us a ride back.
Because the motor ejected on the first flight, I was required
to return the second flight. This turned out to be a great
flight! I was excited to watch it stay aloft for over 3 minutes.
It landed near one of the yellow sheds about a half mile
downrange. My mom and I drove down the road till we were near
the landing site and then went out on foot in search for the
rocket. After about 15 min of searching in the tall grass, the
wind blew the streamer up for a split second, and I saw a quick
flash of light. Immediately I headed for the location and there
was the rocket with the motor still in. Today I discovered that
this flight was a record. I realized that if the motor had not
ejected on the first flight, I would not have been required to
return this flight, which would result in an unofficial record.
Lastly I flew glider duration. I used an FAI style glider and
flew on 1/2A and A motors for my first and second flights
respectively. The first flight did not glide well, but that was
okay since I needed a returned flight. I added some nose weight
and flew again and floated the glider out of sight.
Unfortunately, the smaller motors made the flights unofficial.
I would like to thank my mom for sacrificing her Saturday
afternoon, and miss my brother's baseball tournament to help me
retrieve rockets.
Thank you Mr. Erpelding for your time and effort in making
this contest a success. And thank you to those who flew to help
acquire the required number to make this qualify as a regional.
I had a great time competing and am looking forward to doing
again it next year.
