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

Construction:
T' kit included t' shuttlecock, a BT-5 motor tube, a dummy motor, shiver me timbers, a wooden disk/plug, matey, one centerin' rin' and a launch lug. Blimey! 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, shiver me timbers, me hearties, arrr, 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. Ahoy! ARF, shiver me timbers, ARF :)

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
"No parachute, shiver me timbers, 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. Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! I opted for t' tape.

I flew mine on an A10-PT and an A3-4T. Avast! (I grabbed t' -P accidentally and, arrr, ya bilge rat, while nay a recommended motor, shiver me timbers, works just fine.) Take note t' engine ejects and also falls free. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! No biggie, 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! Well, me bucko, blow me down! Blimey! I think I like this more than me other mini-motor-powered saucers and saucer-like objects!

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
