It sounds like the general lesson is to test keep good records which
include as much information as possible (time to get a thermometer,
hydrometer, and a barometer for my flight box!) and do controlled,
partial, motor tests on the day of the contest.
I don't know whether it has been mentioned in this thread, forgive me
if it has been, but humidity can have a big effect on the motor stick
stiffness. A more flexible stick will normally give you more
downthrust during the power burst.
