Flight Log - 2015-03-13 - Ken E. Coyote's Rocketarium Mega Vortico

Looks like two popsicle sticks stuck together...kinda like t' "helicopter" all o' us made growin' up; however it takes surprisingly big motors. Aye aye!  Was quite a hoot t' fly and very entertaining. I'll be bringin' this t' most o' me launches. Arrr!  Added a spiral red pattern t' one side and black stripe edgin' t' t' other...looks AWESOME!

Another "upside-down" test with t' MV set on t' rod t' right distance down (12-16").  Lift off was fast and good, ya bilge rat, wind pushed t' MV a bit as it helicoptered slowly down with a fast spin. Fell down into some tall bushes about 50' away and recovered fine.  I love flyin' this one a la "pie in t' sky" mode!
