Flight Log - 2017-10-14 - 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.

Last flight of the day, went for some high drag spinning action with a guaranteed short recovery walk.  Nice long arcing boost, spinning like mad all the way up and then floating gently back to the field.  Perfect.
