UROC's Fall Contest event the UROC Fall Open (UFO) 2017 took place on Saturday, October 14th. The event began about 8am in 27 degree temps with clear blue skies and no wind. So we got our birds in the air a quickly as we could. We were flying under the new National Rocketry Competition (NRC) rules so there were no points but we all still had a lot of fun. We had some pretty good flights and some nice Scale models. Al Mecklenburg had a sliding wing Rocket Glider that made 2 excellent flights to earn him first in that event. By the time it got warm enough to generate thermals the wind also came up. We finished up about noon. Looking forward to the NAR launch in November. -- Bruce
