First Flight of the Turbo Vortico! Each step up in size produces a better flight, and the 29mm version of this design did not disappoint. Awesome boost, slow and loud on a big white flame, spinning up incredibly fast. I had built the motor without an ejection charge and after burnout it floated back down to the field spinning furiously. A very fun rocket to fly.
