Competition setup

Set this to your competition's altitude target. Rules change yearly.

Enter the duration window from your competition handbook.

Your team's targets: 800 ft, 37 to 40 s, 1 Eggs

These are example targets from a published guide. Check your own competition rules; the team sets the targets, and Flight Path Rocketry does not assume one rule set.
