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, matey, arrr, me hearties, a BT-5 motor tube, arrr, a dummy motor, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, a wooden disk/plug, ya bilge rat, arrr, one centerin' rin' and a launch lug. Aye aye! Blimey! It is rated skill level 2 because it requires epoxy. Avast! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! YMMV, but I consider it almost an 'ARF' (almost ready t' fly) ;)

You first coat t' wooden disk with white glue, let it dry, and install it with t' help o' t' dummy motor. Avast, me proud beauty! You then

fill t' base o' t' shuttlecock's nose with epoxy, 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. Avast, me proud beauty! ARF, shiver me timbers, 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. Avast, me proud beauty! I opted for t' tape.

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

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

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
