The 2011 Pawnee Open is set for May 7, 2011. There are 6 events that will comprise a total of 80 contest points, and are hopefully designed to get a lot of participation from NCR members. You will probably have rockets in your arsenals already built that will qualify for many of the events. A few of the events are provided to cater to contestants planning on going to Cleveland, Ohio for NARAM-53.
One of the NARAM53 events is a SCALE MODEL CONVERSION (PSC). This is event takes an ordinary plastic model which is modified to fly with rocket motors (and standard recovery systems). This will be a lot of fun especially if one tries to adapt an F-14 Tomcat kit. All PSC flights will be fun to watch and will definitely be HEADS UP. 😯
Here the line up (total WF=80):
Plastic Scale Conversion WF 26
Spot Landing WF 4
A Helicopter Duration WF 20
C Superroc Duration WF 15
A Streamer Duration WF 8
1/2AParachute Duration WF 7
Since this is a one day event and there is no rain date, contest flyers will be given priority on the luanch pads over other sport model rockets. Thank you for your understanding.
