Now who can explain the aerodynamics behind why the thing will peter out after 1.5 snaps to the left, but will continue further to the right? There is very little gyro effect with the Catto. Slipstream seems the main difference, but I never wrapped my head around exactly what's going on here. I understand the gyro effect of right snaps will cause a pitch toward the wheels with right yaw, which tightens of the cone of rotation and reduces drag, but it's hard to believe the light Catto would really have that much effect. Metal, sure.
Tonight was my first time up in 3 weeks due to these damn east coast monsoons, and acroeric made me curious how many times it would go around. Never occurred to me to try before. Not sure I'll get five.
