Flight Log - 2019-08-03 - 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 straight and slow off the rod, sounding a little bit like a weed whacker on the way up.  Straight initially, then arcing over at the top.  Straightened up after motor burnout and spun back down to the tarmac where it continued to spin like a top for a bit.
