Cork Screw
Winner! October, 2003 DOM Contest!
By: Bruce Levison

October entry #3, the Cork Screw by Bruce
Levison of Ohio.
The email from Bruce has this to say:
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
