Thank you for all of the suggestions I will be talking with my team and looking through the thrust profiles of different rockets.

Thank you for all of the suggestions. The altitude goal is we lose one point for every foot we go over 790 feet, so this is why I am asking and for the time limit the faster we can start going back down the better because we have to up and down within 44 seconds. I have been flying Estes...

I think it would be the most effective way to meet the altitude goal

These are the official rules

that could work

I was thinking of doing this but all of the servos that are light enough are too expensive and not powerful enough

I'm doing the American rocketry competition

do you mean using a parachute like a drogue chute

do you mean by tethering the rocket to the ground

essentially

Does anyone have a good method for stopping a model rocket while it is still going up without reverse propulsion?

I will sea if I can contact them

Thank you and I found a club near me.

@James Halifko Thank you. and do you have suggestions on how to make sure everything is even

@Vanadium 50 thank you for the adivice
