Flight Log - 2016-02-13 - Matthew Bond's Rocketarium Mega Vortico

A helicopter style odd-roc, with four "blades" that extend out from the central 24mm motor tube.  Literally a larger version of the 18mm Vortico.  Constructed from a total of 7 laser cut light plywood parts.  Flight profile is high drag, low altitude, spin stabilized, very entertaining.

Weathercocked hard into the wind off the rod, but still put up a nice slow, high drag, high spin, entertaining flight.  Plus you can't beat the short recovery walk.
