Winter competition: Penny drop.
Nice easy competition.
A penny is ejected from a rocket on a suitable recovery device, steamer, parachute, tumble cylinder etc.
If it lands within 10 strides from the launch pad, you get a raffle ticket.
At May’s meeting the raffle is drawn.
Only 1 penny per rocket.
RSO must be happy with the penny’s recovery system.
Minimum of a B motor to be used.
Penny must be ejected. (core samples/lawndarts/catos not allowed)
10 strides is at RSO discression.
Prize: 3 packs of estes motors.

Can it be launched from a monocopter, or does it need to be from a rocket?

as long as it's ejected, and rocket variation is allowed – although the mass on a penny could affect the balance of a monocopter, so you would have to convince an RSO that the modification made to the monocopter still gave a stable flight.
