Flight Log - 2017-11-25 - Matthew Bond's Rocketarium Turbo Vortico 2.0

A helicopter style odd-roc, with Three "blades" that extend out from t' central 29mm motor tube.  Constructed from a total of 6 laser cut plywood parts.  Flight profile is high drag, low altitude, spin stabilized, me hearties, very entertaining.

Version 2.0 be built after I pushed t' envelope a little t' hard with me original build and shredded it in spectacular fashion with a CTI H-135.

First flight o' Turbo Vortico number 2!  Managed t' get a coat o' primer on it before t' launch.  Nice boost, motor workin' hard t' push this beast through t' air.  seemed t' take a second or so t' spin up, and once it did it had a distinct "wobble", which leads me t' believe that it is out o' balance just a little bit.  Still a fun flight, arrr, spinnin' gracefully back t' t' filed.
