Streamer Duration Info & Plans

Streamer Duration information & plans

Image

Streamer Duration (SD) -  Models for this event contain a Streamer for its recovery system method.  The models must stay in one piece, not drop any parts.  A big challenge of this event is to have a model that can contain a large streamer that can deploy reliably, in order to get a good duration.
