Flight Log - 2017-10-14 - Matthew Bond's Rocketarium Mega Vortico

A helicopter style odd-roc, me hearties, 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, arrr, low altitude, spin stabilized, very entertaining.

Last flight o' t' day, ya bilge rat, went for some high drag spinnin' action with a guaranteed short recovery walk.  Nice long arcin' boost, spinnin' like mad all t' way up and then floatin' gently back t' t' field.  Perfect.
