Flight Log - 2011-10-28 - 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

I was losing fins on previous flights and the paper tube was pealing. I wrapped the lower tube with fiberglass and epoxied the fins in place.
No rotation when this flew. Straight up. One rotation after motor burnout. No camera on it this time. Maybe that is what cause the rotation.
