"Calling Superroc Gurus"
Building myself a sport-flying superroc (2.1" x 150", paper/glue reinforced tubing, balsa reinforced couplers, Econojets for power), and information beyond "strong tubes, strong couplers" is few and far between. Any hints from the masters that are beyond the basics but not considered contest winning secrets? -Beanboy

I'm by no means a 'guru' - I've flown the event once. But it is a fun event The models that seemed to do best (not mine), were minimum diameter - some made from graphite or fiberglass for strength and light weight. Minimum diameter also means the diameter of an Apogee Dx - rather than the Estes Dxx. That seemed to make a huge difference - the long burn of the Apogee engines put those models much higher than mine. I did see someone with a great flight that took a different approach. A minimum 'length'/minimum diameter. I think it would have been a record if the chute didn't come off. Good luck - I'm sure you'll get some more information from those more experienced. Jeff
