South looks very strong this year considering that some of their best people have not come to previous invitationals.

Sometimes my glider makes a constant arc shape while flying where it lightly goes down and then back up instead of flying stably, and I'm having problems troubleshooting it. It's a homemade glider based on this one: http://www.amaflightschool.org/diy/how-build-indoor-catapult-launch-glider-science-...

did anyone see a decrease in times at the competition? I think the air density was a factor of the lower times. At home in a 9 foot ceiling my partner and I were consistently getting times of above 3:10 however at the competition we got a time of 2:40.

6th place was 2342 tower weighed 6.35 held 9.875 kg.

5th was 9.2 seconds 0.8 cm off, score of 10.8.

So my kids were kind of ambitious with the number of silica packets they used and they reduced the weight by .24 grams last night. Is this normal or potentially problematic? I have never used silica gel packets to reduce the wight of my tower however the absence of water in the wood may cause the s...

In a 90 foot gym times of 4 minutes should be achievable. So 2:37 is a bit on the lower end.

You may want to try x's and ladders for the chimney portion of the tower as the main segments undergo a lot of compression. Next time you test a tower make sure to look at the chimney and check if the braces are bending or warping while you are loading. This will give you a clear indication whether ...

Where should the connection between the base and chimney be relative to the 20cm mark? Our team sees two main options: Option A: Have the chimney legs meet the base right at the 20cm height barely inside the 8cm circle. This allows a steeper base leg angle, but it also requires a shallower chimney ...

1st place in New Jersey was 2:58 in a 25 ft ceiling. However there was a decent amount of draft which stopped helicopters from reaching their max times.
