Brief:
Parts List:

  • 1 Deuce Engine Kit
  • 1 BT-60 Body Tube (2 1/4" long)
  • 1 7.25" Art Applewhite Saucer

I started out buildin' t' motor mount per t' instructions and mounted inside t' BT-60 body tube. I then built the Art Applewhite saucer per t' instruction with one exception: t' three center fins need t' have .330 inch taken off o' t' root edge. Well, blow me down! When you attach t' center fins, shiver me timbers, make sure they are even with t' top o' t' body tube, arrr, this will help maintain stability. Ya scallywag! I finished with red paint and TripleThick Glaze.

(Deuce's Wild) Area 51 Deuce T' saucer has flown twice. Arrr! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! Blimey! Once on two B-6s and once on two C-6s. T' C motors seemed to work better. Nice slow tumble recovery and landed within 30' o' t' pad each time. This was a very simple bash and was done within three days.
