So... Will mine work?

As you describe, the distance from the neck flange to the opening of your bottle (ie, the hole where the fizzy goodness comes out) is less than 1.6cm, so it will be fine.

It's probably worth pointing out that the people who make the rules have actually seen soda bottles before. So yes, there are measurements (because there's always someone that tries to do something weird) but they are written so that you can go to your supermarket and by a normal 1L plastic bottle of major-manufacturer soda, and have something that works.

Is the air flap deployment method legal?
Specifically will it be considered elastic flight assist and hence not allowed this time around?

I'm curious, how long does everyone think top times will end up being?

I was in this event for NC, at states in 2018 winning time was around 30-ish seconds (I can't remember the specific time)

Theoretically, would it be legal if the nose cone was 20+ feet tall and still met the nose cone constraints?

I can't find any brand of carbonated beverage (according to 3a) bottles that come in 1 Liter sizes. Can y'all suggest some? I know the rules say 1Liter bottle or less but I want to experiment with a bigger size.
