It got a little too windy causing some rockets to drift wildly, but otherwise a good day. We did have 2 catos (D12-3 and a D12-5). The temperature was a bearable 80 degrees with a lot of sun. Another fun day of launching rockets.
Looking for something different? Give this oddroc a whirl! The Vortico shoots straight up into the sky and starts spinning. That motion results in helicoptering on the way down for a smooth landing. The Vortico doesn’t land far from where it took off.
This is a great rocket for launch sites with small recovery area. Clearly, the Vortico is different from most rockets. It is built with seven plywood pieces. The plywood pieces have tabs to which fit together to make building the rocket even easier. The clearly illustrated instructions make the Vortico rocket easy to assemble.
