The flying site where the student got 17 seconds was a great flying site for the gliders that year. One of the HS students got 2:45 or so on his Flight Endurance model. Maximum stretch on the catapult (rules) is 300mm. The rubber was changed last year. Now they can only use standard #19 rubber bands. At least students can choose and take their own wood for construction. Most TSA kids need mentoring to be successful. Many are sent to competition with only marginal knowledge of construction or trimming. I'm mentoring 4 right now trying to help them prepare for their regionals.
