Everyone who hung around until the afternoon at the last launch all received an Estes Astron Sprint XL kit. We proposed a kit bash contest. The rules for the contest are simple:
- You must build a model rocket that doesn't look like the Estes Astron Sprint XL using only the contents of the kit.
- You can't add materials or parts, like more balsa, another tube, or a substitute nose cone. If the parts weren't in the original package for the kit, you can't use them.
- You must fly the model at September 14 launch.
If you didn't stay or didn't go to the launch but want to participate, get a Sprint XL kit and join in. If you are an MTMA member who did not get a Sprint XL kit and want to participate, you may qualify for a FREE KIT. Contact Jeff Kodysz (the Sprint XL Man) for details. -W

Thanks for the report, I think it was one of the most fun launches I have been to in a while. Who sez it has to be high power!! Thanks to the MTMA for all the cool stuff you did to make the Apollo 50th one to remember! “We need more boom.”

Wolf,
Sorry to be "that guy", but can there be an exception to the rules in that Kevlar can be substituted, or augment, the estes "rubber band" shock cord? I will build it stock if necessary to meet the rules, but prefer not to. I don't think I need to explain why.
Thank you for your consideration.
-Bill

You make a good point. I also don't use the rubber shock cord.
I didn't consider the internal components when I posted the kit bash rules because those parts are typically not visible when displaying a model rocket for show.
Rule Amendment #1
It's OK to replace the following internal components of the Sprint XL provided that the replacement components are not visible on the completed model during judging: Shock cord Shock cord mount Motor mount Recovery device

Wolf, as long as bill has challenged the rules of the kit bash contest, can we also use the package of the rocket to build with? Just asking
