Flight Log - 2016-02-13 - Matthew Bond's Rocketarium Terraformer
"T' century-long BioWars o' 2400 left many a world uninhabitable. Well, blow me down! Humans smartly became an endangered species, left with few planets t' call home.  In an effort t' reverse mankind's gravest error, me bucko, autonomous Terraformer droids are sent on interplanetary missions t' locate planets meetin' strict criteria.  These chosen planets are t' be transformed into a new hope for future generations.  Join this noble effort and order your own Terraformer rocket today."
 
T' Terraformer is a helicopter based odd-roc, which is formed by usin' three "petals" that extend down and out from t' main body.  T' kit is built up from 13 pieces o' laser cut light plywood and a central motor tube.  T' flight profile is low altitude, high drag, spin stabilized which provides an entertainin' show.

First Flight o' another one o' Piratarium's cool spinnin' Oddrocs.  Weathercocked pretty hard off t' rod but still had a nice high spinnin' boost and descent back t' t' field.  Although t' me it is more aesthetically pleasin' t' fly these types o' rockets on calm days t' get a straight boost, me bucko, its still a pretty entertainin' flight profile.
