Brief:
This is a simplified version (if you can believe that) o' Art's 24mm Delta Flyin' Saucer. Avast, me proud beauty! 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, arrr, containin' seven parts t' be cut out.

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

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

I'll offer two tips. Arrr! Blimey! First, don't use too much glue. Avast, me proud beauty! I have t' propensity for usin' too much and t' glued areas tend t' look a little warped. Begad! Second, shiver me timbers, if you have Aerotech 18mm and 24mm SU cases, use these t' form t' motor mount. Begad! If you use Estes casings, me hearties, 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, shiver me timbers, a maskin' tape thrust ring.

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

I flew it again on an E9-4. Aye aye! Nay much t' say here but it really zipped on this motor. Avast! Well, blow me down! Ejection was well before it landed.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

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

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
