We will host a model rocket competition sanctioned under NRC rules.   The Heavy Metal III contest will consist of 4 events selected from the 2017/2018 NRC events list plus 2 additional events.  Contestants are free to fly any or all of the 2 additional NRC events.  Results for these two events will be submitted to the national scoreboard but will not count toward your score in the Heavy Metal III contest.  We will provide eggs but not payloads or altimeters.  NO returns are required for this event except as required by the sporting code for eggloft and payload.

Contest hours will be 8AM (setup time) to 5PM Saturday.  Sunday will begin at 8AM and the contest will end promptly at 3PM.   These are approximate and subject to weather conditions and the contest director’s (John Buckley, jbuckley1996@gmail.com ) discretion.  Sport range hours may differ slightly.
