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. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty!

Construction:
T' kit included t' shuttlecock, matey, me hearties, a BT-5 motor tube, a dummy motor, a wooden disk/plug, arrr, matey, one centerin' rin' and a launch lug. Aye aye! It is rated skill level 2 because it requires epoxy. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! YMMV, matey, but I consider it almost an 'ARF' (almost ready t' fly) ;)

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

fill t' base o' t' shuttlecock's nose with epoxy, matey, shiver me timbers, 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, me hearties, 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. I opted for t' tape.

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

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

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
