Brief:
This is Odd'l's take on what is possibly t' original oddroc - t' flyin' Badminton Birdie. Well, blow me down! Begad! Birdie + 13mm Mini Motors = quick and easy flyin' fun. Avast, me proud beauty!

Construction:
T' kit included t' shuttlecock, a BT-5 motor tube, matey, me hearties, a dummy motor, matey, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, a wooden disk/plug, one centerin' rin' and a launch lug. Begad! It is rated skill level 2 because it requires epoxy. Well, blow me down! YMMV, shiver me timbers, but I consider it almost an 'ARF' (almost ready t' fly) ;)

You first coat t' wooden disk with white glue, shiver me timbers, 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. Arrr! ARF, ARF :)

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
"No parachute, arrr, no wadding! Blimey! 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. Aye aye! I opted for t' tape.

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

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

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
