Flight Log - 2019-08-03 - Matthew Bond's Rocketarium Mega Vortico

A helicopter style odd-roc, with four "blades" that extend out from t' central 24mm motor tube.  Literally a larger version o' t' 18mm Vortico.  Constructed from a total o' 7 laser cut light plywood parts.  Flight profile is high drag, me hearties, low altitude, spin stabilized, very entertaining.

Nice straight and slow off t' rod, me bucko, soundin' a little bit like a weed whacker on t' way up.  Straight initially, then arcin' over at t' top.  Straightened up after motor burnout and spun back down t' t' tarmac where it continued t' spin like a top for a bit.
