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.

I evened out the epoxy on the cup a bit, but still left a bit more on one side to keep some "swirl". Tried C11-3 this time and it went up well with a slight spiral. Cup recovered 30ft from pad (gusty day with 5-15mph winds).
