bottle rocket flight times

What are your bottle rocket flight times?I have about 9 seconds average.

We average about 3-4 seconds
Have you gone to an invitational yet? We went to Kraemer and got 20th and 22nd

I just started and I average 10.9 seconds.

I know some kids at my old school are getting 11+ seconds.

We're also averaging 3-4 seconds and not going very high. This is easy on the egg. However, I'm wondering if anyone else feels the 1L bottle doesn't have enough umph?

Wright state first place got about 18 sec in total on 50 psi i think.

The highest times in PA are 11 seconds each for a total score of 22.

Hey, Im from Paul J. Gelinas Junior High School in NY, was wondering if you had any suggestions with bottle rocket since we have our state tournament coming up in April. Any successful ideas? Also I do scrambler and I know that you guys got 1st at nats last year in it. How's your schools scrambler now just wondering? We use a spring launch system, however we get about 3 secs from .5-8.5m, is there anything else we should try that might work better? Thanks in advance!
