Flight Log - 2015-03-13 - Ken E. Coyote's Rocketarium Mega Vortico

Looks like two popsicle sticks stuck together...kinda like the "helicopter" all of us made growing up; however it takes surprisingly big motors.  Was quite a hoot to fly and very entertaining. I'll be bringing this to most of my launches.  Added a spiral red pattern to one side and black stripe edging to the other...looks AWESOME!

Another "upside-down" test with the MV set on the rod the right distance down (12-16").  Lift off was fast and good, wind pushed the MV a bit as it helicoptered slowly down with a fast spin. Fell down into some tall bushes about 50' away and recovered fine.  I love flying this one a la "pie in the sky" mode!
