I looked at the winning times at USIC in Johnson City and saw that 15:00 is a good time there. Because at JC the ceiling is 115', I thought the 150' at Tustin would require substantially more time. But basically, I'm pretty ignorant and just experimenting to better understanding the performance envelope.

So this means the 3:02 with the 0.5g 1/6 motor would be a really good time, if I can convert it to the full 3.0g motor. I was wondering if there is a different winding technique for a 24" motor hung between 9" of space.
