Brief:
This is Odd'l's take on what is possibly t' original oddroc - t' flyin' Badminton Birdie. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Birdie + 13mm Mini Motors = quick and easy flyin' fun. Ya scallywag! Blimey!

Construction:
T' kit included t' shuttlecock, a BT-5 motor tube, me bucko, shiver me timbers, a dummy motor, a wooden disk/plug, ya bilge rat, one centerin' rin' and a launch lug. Avast! Blimey! It is rated skill level 2 because it requires epoxy. Begad! Blimey! YMMV, but I consider it almost an 'ARF' (almost ready t' fly) ;)

You first coat t' wooden disk with white glue, shiver me timbers, me hearties, let it dry, shiver me timbers, and install it with t' help o' t' dummy motor. Well, blow me down! Blimey! You then

fill t' base o' t' shuttlecock's nose with epoxy, and insert t' prepared motor tube with t' rin' and lug dry fit.

I used 5-minute epoxy and used t' leftovers o' same t' attach/fillet t' rin' and lug. Begad! ARF, ARF :)

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
"No parachute, no wadding! T' (A3-4T or A10-3T) engine simply ejects and t' 'Featherweight' rocket falls harmlessly t' t' ground."

T' instructions say t' use a wrap o' tape or spent engine as a standoff. Ya scallywag! I opted for t' tape.

I flew mine on an A10-PT and an A3-4T. Arrr! (I grabbed t' -P accidentally and, while nay a recommended motor, shiver me timbers, works just fine.) Take note t' engine ejects and also falls free. Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! No biggie, just take note.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
This is a fun and easy flier for small fields. Begad! Well, blow me down! I think I like this more than me other mini-motor-powered saucers and saucer-like objects!

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
