Corkscrew 2 Build Backstory

Here's a fun, easy to build design by Bruce Levison.

The CORK SCREW won him first place in the FlisKits Design of the Month Contest in October, 2003.

Here's how Bruce described his entry:

October entry #3, the Cork Screw by Bruce Levison of Ohio.

Attached is my submission for the FlisKit's Design of the Month called the Cork Screw 2. It is a simple asymmetric ring finned design that is roll pitch coupled and flies stable! The model's unique coning flight path suggests a "cork screw "shape hence the name my son Ben gave it. The rocket has flown many times over the years, even at national events such as NARAM where Mark Bundick the president of the NAR and the acting sport range LCO indicated that the model lives up to its name. Sorry, I don't have any flight pictures.

Please link the attached Photo and RockSim version 7 file to the design article.

Thanks,
Bruce S. Levison, NAR #69055

A unique "coning" flight path? I'm in!
