Flight Log - 2018-11-24 - Matthew Bond's Rocketarium Mega Vortico

A helicopter style odd-roc, with four "blades" that extend out from the central 24mm motor tube.  Literally a larger version of the 18mm Vortico.  Constructed from a total of 7 laser cut light plywood parts.  Flight profile is high drag, low altitude, spin stabilized, very entertaining.

Nice flight, pretty straight boost, nice and slow, spinning like crazy.  Hung in the air for a second after motor burnout and then spun gently back to the field.  Perfect.
