Brief:
This is a simplified version (if you can believe that) o' Art's 24mm Delta Flyin' Saucer. Ya scallywag! Avast! T' kit is all cardstock and can be built with either an 18mm or 24mm motor mount.

Construction:
T' kit contains two sheets o' cardstock, me bucko, containin' seven parts t' be cut out.

Materials required are scissors, hobby knife with new blade, Elmer's white glue, new or used engine casing, cellophane tape, arrr, and ballpoint pen.

This will be a short description. Aye aye! All you have t' do is cut out t' parts (followin' t' 18mm or 24mm guides, shiver me timbers, as appropriate) and glue them together per t' instructions. Arrr! T' instructions say t' use white glue nay Carpenter's glue, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, so that's what I used. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! If you intend t' use longer motors (over 2.75"), me bucko, you leave out t' motor block.

I'll offer two tips. Ahoy! Blimey! First, don't use too much glue. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! I have t' propensity for usin' too much and t' glued areas tend t' look a little warped. Second, matey, if you have Aerotech 18mm and 24mm SU cases, use these t' form t' motor mount. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Ya scallywag! Blimey! If you use Estes casings, shiver me timbers, arrr, you will need t' wrap them with a layer o' cellophane tape.

Finishing:
Finishin' involves only a few coats o' clear coat.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
T' recommended motors are:

Flight prep includes friction fittin' t' motor and, me hearties, if you elected t' leave off t' motor block, a maskin' tape thrust ring.

I flew t' 24mm version at t' 3rd Annual TRF Reunion at Whitakers, ya bilge rat, NC. Aye aye! On t' first flight, arrr, it flew on a D12-0 alongside a standard saucer, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, a Delta saucer, and a Super Cinco. Well, blow me down! It be a fast, me hearties, straight flight with less weathercockin' than t' others I compared.

I flew it again on an E9-4. Nay much t' say here but it really zipped on this motor. Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! Ejection be well before it landed.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
This is one simple, inexpensive, high performance saucer kit. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! I think it is faster than his other designs, me hearties, but they are so close it is hard t' tell without a drag race (with simultaneous ignition t' boot). When I built t' saucer, I was thinkin' that t' all cardstock 24mm design may nay be as sturdy as t' Art's other products. Blimey! I know I only have two flights on it, arrr, but I now don't see that as an issue.
