Alright, that seems reasonable. I'm getting 12 seconds with 60 psi consistently here in Washington. The typical times here are around 6-8 seconds and I wouldn't be surprised if the top time WA state is ~13 seconds. For a national medal, I'm estimating a rocket of ~15-16 seconds on 60 psi. Does that seem reasonable?

Re: Bottle rocket flight times
It does to me, but i read somewhere else that some people are getting 18 seconds of their rockets.Zioly wrote:kendreaditya wrote:11 secondsZioly wrote:What are the highest times anyone's seen?

I don't exactly remember but, I think it was on the main bottle rocket forums.Zioly wrote:Wow. That is incredible, but I can imagine it. From where did you hear this?kendreaditya wrote:It does to me, but i read somewhere else that some people are getting 18 seconds of their rockets.Zioly wrote:

Re: Bottle rocket flight times
My guess is that this is a combined score. The best I have seen for a single flight this year is 12+ at 60psi. There is usually one outlier at nationals, so 14 might be possible. But I predict no one will be close to 18.kendreaditya wrote:i read somewhere else that some people are getting 18 seconds of their rockets.

Re: Bottle rocket flight times
Agreed, that the highest scores seen so far are 12+ at 60 psi. But, I beg to differ in terms of that outlier number. I think that number could be well into the range of 16-17. Maybe it's just me being paranoid, but I've been consistently getting 13.7-13.9 seconds on 60 psi, and I don't feel like an outlier lol. I don't even know if it's enough to medal.daycd wrote:My guess is that this is a combined score. The best I have seen for a single flight this year is 12+ at 60psi.
