A helicopter style odd-roc, with Three "blades" that extend out from the central 29mm motor tube. Constructed from a total of 6 laser cut plywood parts. Flight profile is high drag, low altitude, spin stabilized, very entertaining.
Version 2.0 was built after I pushed the envelope a little to hard with my original build and shredded it in spectacular fashion with a CTI H-135.

First flight of Turbo Vortico number 2! Managed to get a coat of primer on it before the launch. Nice boost, motor working hard to push this beast through the air. seemed to take a second or so to spin up, and once it did it had a distinct "wobble", which leads me to believe that it is out of balance just a little bit. Still a fun flight, spinning gracefully back to the filed.
