Flight Log - 2012-05-12 - Jeff Boldig's DNA

A 3" rocket, 29mm MMT upscale of the Dueces Wild.  The motors are canted 15º each.  The MMT are not quite aligned right and the rocket does about 3-4 rotations while under power then stops rotating and flies straight. 

It leaves a double helix smoke trail, which is why I call it DNA
