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, ya bilge rat, low altitude, spin stabilized, ya bilge rat, very entertaining.
Version 2.0 was 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", arrr, which leads me t' believe that it is out o' balance just a little bit. Still a fun flight, spinnin' gracefully back t' t' filed.
