In commemeration of the 1996 establishment of WOOSH, (drum roll goes here)

A CONTEST.

COMPETITION DATE July 28 and 29
At the RI BONG STATE RECREATION AREA


WI-Roc Altimeter 1996' Mean Sea Level (MSL) With Out Going Over (WOGO)

MULTI ROUND Event (MRE)


Rocket shall be a WI Roc built from a kit sold my LOC Precision of Plymouth Wisconsin.

The original design look and profile (ODLAP) will be maintained. Fin configuration (FC) will not be altered. Trivial design modifications (TDM) common to launch lug and rail button choices, the addition of altimeter bays, payload (think about weight tuning for altitude trim) bays and motor retainers are anticipated and encouraged. Finished rocket overall length shall be between 52 and 57 inches. Note the WI Roc has a design length of 54 inches.


Scores will be recorded by the Contest Director (CD) recording the reported altitude of the flyers on-board altimeter (OBA) immediately after return of the rocket to the launch area. Target altitude (TA) shall be at or below 1996 feet MSL. Bong launch area Field Elevation is 804 (amended....jcr) feet MSL. We will consider all nose tips to be starting from a point 4 feet above the field...so your rocket nose is at 808 feet MSL sitting on the launch pad. You will need to gain 1188 feet (thats what your altimeter will record) in order to achieve the best possible altitude of 1996 MSL. Other altimeters, GPS for instance, are welcome to participate.



This is a WISCONSIN Rocket event, so you can fly til the cows come home (TTCCH).

You'll be judged by your best score. Go Over? It is a simple DQ'd flight and you can keep on trying.

Any unsafe flight or act is DQ'd at CD discrection.
