Flight Log - 2017-11-26 - Matthew Bond's Rocketarium Turbo Vortico 2.0

A helicopter style odd-roc, with Three "blades" that extend out from the central 29mm motor tube.  Constructed from a total of 6 laser cut plywood parts.  Flight profile is high drag, low altitude, spin stabilized, very entertaining.

Version 2.0 was built after I pushed the envelope a little to hard with my original build and shredded it in spectacular fashion with a CTI H-135.

Great flight full of high drag spinning goodness.  Off the rod and tearing through the air, spinning like mad after motor burnout and then settling gently back down to the field.  Something is definitely out of balance on this particular rocket as it displays a distinct "wobble" while spinning, but still very entertaining.
