Stepping up the motor selection for the spinning oddrocs. Managed to get a good light on a old Aerotech D-10 and off she went! Great boost, spinning like crazy on the way up and all the way down after burnout. I had dumped out the ejection charge so the Vortico spun gracefully all the way back to the field.
