Flight Log - 2015-02-22 - Ken E. Coyote's Monsters University Art Cup Rocket (Scratch Build)
Custom Cup Rocket similar to Up Cup design. Uses a plastic cup and 24mm motor mount. Tumble recovery. I liked the Up Cup a lot, but wanted something more sturdy and able to take 24mm motors.

First test launch of custom cup rocket. Has a 24mm motor tube, but for test I used C6-3 with adapter. Had a nice swirly chugging rise up and fell down 20 ft from the pad. Wife's response while recording video was "Oh my!" Reason for spiral was that I ran out of epoxy and had more on one side of the cup than the other. Was going to fix; however spiral chugging flight was pretty awesome, so I'll test it some more. Will try next flight on C11-3.
