Usually 1 second per foot of height is a good time. How tall is the ceiling? Try to find a place with a ceiling at least as high as the one you will have at the tournament since you definitely want your glider to start gliding from as high as possible.shmipku wrote:hi guys does anyone know how long a decent elastic launch glider flight in the armory at u of i would be? we havent flown in any buildings with ceilings as high and we would like to have something to compare our flights to when we get there. thanks!

Re: Illinois 2015
Illinois (and a few others) use a scoring system called Avogadro (avogadro.ws) wherein results are usually released to the public after tournaments until the next season. Here is B, and here is C.Magikarpmaster629 wrote:Does anyone have the results?
Illinois B
5. Grayslake
4. South
3. Science & Arts
2. Marie Murphy
1. Daniel Wright
Illinois C
5. Neuqua Valley
4. Lyons Township
3. Hinsdale Central
2. New Trier
1. Stevenson
B fell perfectly within expectation. C is interesting because I haven't been following it. What happened to IMSA? On another note, for those there, I'm fairly surprised that they ran out of medals. I've seen that at the invitational level, but it's quite unusual for the State level!
