Flight Log - 2011-01-09 - 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
