Brief:
This is Odd'l's take on what is possibly t' original oddroc - t' flyin' Badminton Birdie. Ahoy! Birdie + 13mm Mini Motors = quick and easy flyin' fun. Well, blow me down!

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

You first coat t' wooden disk with white glue, me hearties, let it dry, and install it with t' help o' t' dummy motor. 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. ARF, arrr, ARF :)

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
"No parachute, arrr, 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. Blimey! I opted for t' tape.

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

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

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
