| Several rocket vendors have had kits named Twister over
the years. This one is from Custom Rockets.
Although the product info says this rocket spins on its way down, there
are no provisions such as canted fins to make it do that. Nor does
it spin. But it's still a cool looking rocket.
It was intended to use 18mm motors, but I opted to install a 13mm mount
in it. It uses lawn-dart recovery, and is prone to splitting the
fins where the dowel is joined at the leading edge. Reinforcement
is recommended along that line. |
