Flight Log - 2011-01-09 - Jeff Boldig's DNA

A 3" rocket, 29mm MMT upscale o' t' Dueces Wild.  T' motors are canted 15º each.  T' MMT are nay quite aligned right and t' rocket does about 3-4 rotations while under power then stops rotatin' and flies straight. 

It leaves a double helix smoke trail, me bucko, which is why I call it DNA
