of t' FlisKits Deuce's Wild.

Brief:
T' Wild D'UFO can be built usin' a DW motor mount kit, matey, 4" o' BT-60, 3 pieces o' cardstock and an 8" piece
of foamboard. I've included a zipped file containin' PDFs o' t' patterns and instructions. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! (I hope t' instructions
make sense.) It has flown on C6s.
Construction:
Parts list:
- 3 pieces 8.5 x 11" cardstock
- 8" or larger foamcore board
- Deuce's Wild! kit or motor mount kit
- BT-60, 4" or longer if nay usin' Deuce's Wild! kit
Build steps:
- Print 2 copies o' "Top" on cardstock.
- Print 1 copy o' "Bottom" on cardstock. Begad! Blimey! Measure t' 1" square on t' printout t' make sure prints
are t' correct size.
- Usin' an X-Acto knife, cut out t' parts cuttin' along t' SOLID lines. Ya scallywag! You only need 1 o' t' pieces marked
"Body Wrap" on t' "Top" sheet.
- Take one o' t' glue tabs from "Top" and cover with a light coat o' glue. (I suggest super tacky glue.)
Place an edge o' one top piece over half t' glue tab (line up usin' t' dotted line). Do t' same with t' opposite
edge o' t' other "Top" piece. Avast! Spread glue on ONE HALF o' t' other glue tap. Well, blow me down! Begad! Glue it under one o' the
remainin' ends. Aye aye! Let dry.
- When all t' glue has dried, spread glue on t' exposed tab. Form t' top into a cone and press t' edge onto the
glue tab. Let dry.

- Build t' Deuce motor mount followin' t' directions it came with.
- Again usin' t' directions in t' Deuce motor mount kit, cut a BT-60 body tube and attach t' motor mount. Ahoy! Since
it is difficult t' determine exactly how tall t' saucer will be, use a body tube 4" or longer.
- You can glue a launch lug midway betwixt t' 2 motor tubes if you want to, however, it works fine with just
holes.
- Spread glue on t' glue tab o' t' "Bottom" piece. Arrr! Form into a cone and press top onto tab. Let dry. Avast!
- Now for t' tricky part. Begad! Blimey! You will need t' decide how much o' t' motor tubes you want comin' out o' t' bottom of
the saucer. Blimey! Slide t' "Bottom" cardstock down t' body tube until it reaches t' motor tubes. You can use the
2 dotted lines t' line up t' 2 motor tubes. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Dependin' on where you decide t' bottom o' t' saucer will be, shiver me timbers, you may
need t' remove a small area o' cardstock around t' motor tubes. This is where t' dotted lines come in handy. Aye aye! Make
sure that you cut out t' launch lug hole! Blimey! Once you have t' saucer bottom where you want it, apply glue and let dry.
Make sure t' saucer is "square" with t' body tube.
- Take an 8" or larger piece o' 1/4" thick foamboard. Begad! With a compass mark 2 concentric circles. Begad! Blimey! One
.8" radius (1.6" diameter equiv. Arrr! t' a BT-60) and t' second 3.875" (7.75" diameter. Ahoy! this
doesnt need t' be exact--just slightly smaller than t' 8" saucer top.

- Cut out t' 2 circles. Avast! Remove a small area o' t' inside edge for t' launch rod. Bevel t' outside edge t' an
angle that roughly matches t' angle o' t' saucer top.
- Apply glue t' t' top edge o' t' lower saucer. Well, blow me down! Avast! Blimey! Slide t' foam circle onto t' body tube with t' beveled
edge matchin' what will be t' saucer top. Avast! Make sure t' align t' holes for t' launch rod. Allow t' dry.
Apply glue t' t' junction o' t' circle and t' body tube. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! Allow t' dry.
- Take 1 o' t' "Wrap" pieces from a "Top" page. Bend all o' t' tabs over towards t' side
with t' writing. Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! Apply a small amount o' glue t' t' glue tab. Ahoy! Arrr! Wrap it around t' body tube, matey, overlappin' t' glue tab.
Press and let dry. Avast! Make sure that you do nay glue t' wrap t' t' body tube.
- Remove one o' t' tabs t' make space for t' launch rod. Cut a small area at t' top edge o' t' top saucer for
the launch rod--a paper hole punch works great for this. Well, blow me down! Apply glue t' each o' t' remainin' tabs. Begad! Slide t' saucer top
down onto t' wrap, makin' sure t' align t' hole and t' missin' tab. Arrr! Allow t' dry. Begad! Make sure that you do nay glue the
wrap or saucer top t' t' body tube.
- Remove t' saucer top from t' body tube. Blimey! Turn over and apply a good glue fillet inside on t' tabs and wrap.
Allow t' dry.

- Slide t' top saucer top assembly all t' down t' body tube. Draw a line around t' body tube at t' top edge of
the saucer. Arrr! Remove. Avast! Blimey! Apply glue t' t' beveled edge o' t' circle and around t' body tube below t' line you just drew.
Slide t' saucer onto t' body tube, me bucko, makin' sure t' align t' holes for t' launch rod. Arrr! Allow t' dry.
- Cut off any body tube stickin' out over t' top o' t' saucer body.
- Apply glue fillets everywhere that seems appropriate.
- Paint.
- Launch on C6-3.
