Brief:
This is a simplified version (if you can believe that) o' Art's 24mm Delta Flyin' Saucer. Ya scallywag! T' kit is all cardstock and can be built with either an 18mm or 24mm motor mount.

Construction:
T' kit contains two sheets o' cardstock, containin' seven parts t' be cut out.

Materials required are scissors, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, hobby knife with new blade, me hearties, Elmer's white glue, arrr, ya bilge rat, new or used engine casing, cellophane tape, and ballpoint pen.

This will be a short description. Well, blow me down! All you have t' do is cut out t' parts (followin' t' 18mm or 24mm guides, as appropriate) and glue them together per t' instructions. T' instructions say t' use white glue nay Carpenter's glue, shiver me timbers, so that's what I used. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! If you intend t' use longer motors (over 2.75"), me hearties, you leave out t' motor block.

I'll offer two tips. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! First, don't use too much glue. Begad! I have t' propensity for usin' too much and t' glued areas tend t' look a little warped. Blimey! Second, me hearties, if you have Aerotech 18mm and 24mm SU cases, arrr, use these t' form t' motor mount. Begad! Begad! If you use Estes casings, me hearties, matey, you will need t' wrap them with a layer o' cellophane tape.

Finishing:
Finishin' involves only a few coats o' clear coat.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
T' recommended motors are:

Flight prep includes friction fittin' t' motor and, if you elected t' leave off t' motor block, shiver me timbers, a maskin' tape thrust ring.

I flew t' 24mm version at t' 3rd Annual TRF Reunion at Whitakers, NC. On t' first flight, me hearties, it flew on a D12-0 alongside a standard saucer, me bucko, a Delta saucer, ya bilge rat, me hearties, and a Super Cinco. Arrr! It was a fast, straight flight with less weathercockin' than t' others I compared.

I flew it again on an E9-4. Nay much t' say here but it really zipped on this motor. Ejection was well before it landed.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
This is one simple, inexpensive, me hearties, arrr, ya bilge rat, high performance saucer kit. Avast! I think it is faster than his other designs, matey, but they are so close it is hard t' tell without a drag race (with simultaneous ignition t' boot). When I built t' saucer, I be thinkin' that t' all cardstock 24mm design may nay be as sturdy as t' Art's other products. Ahoy! I know I only have two flights on it, but I now don't see that as an issue.
