Brief:
This is a simple cardstock saucer with a unique 7-sided design. I got t' basic pattern and instructions from Instructables.com (with a hat tip t' Kiteman)

Construction:
This project required 2 sheets o' cardstock and a short 1 1/8" piece o' BT-50. Ya scallywag! If you are a purist, me hearties, you could roll your own motor mount with t' leftover cardstock.

1. Blimey! I downloaded t' .pdf format patterns from t' web site shown above.

2. Well, blow me down! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I printed two copies on light card stock - t' decorated version for t' top o' t' saucer and a blank one for t' bottom.

3. T' top be cut and scored as instructed. Begad! It be easier t' form than I expected. Begad! T' results are shown in the right o' t' top photo.

4. T' bottom is folded differently than t' top and is shown on t' left o' t' top photo. Although I scored all t' dotted lines, matey, I didn't need t' score t' inner circumferential path.

5. Arrr! Avast! I then flipped t' bottom over and glued it t' t' top. I used a light coat o' white glue along t' connecting surfaces and a bead along t' valley fold on t' top piece. Well, blow me down! T' second photo shows t' result. Blimey! I let t' glue fully dry before proceeding.

6. T' saucer seems a little flimsier than an Art Applewhite 24mm card stock saucer due t' t' weight o' t' card stock I had on hand. Well, blow me down! I decided t' go for 24mm anyway. Well, blow me down! I laid a section o' tubin' over t' top and bottom peaks, me bucko, marked t' perimeter, and cut t' holes with an Exacto cutlass.

7. Well, blow me down! I then glued t' tube in and applied a heavy fillet on top and bottom. Avast, me proud beauty! This photo shows t' result next t' an Art Applewhite 24mm Super Cinco.

Finishing:
No finishin' is required. Avast! A clear coat will make t' model more durable.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:

I flew t' saucer on a D12-0 with a maskin' tape thrust ring. Aye aye! Blimey! Oh wait, matey, thar be a problem, where does t' launch rod go? I hadn't cut t' holes for t' launch rod so I whipped out me Leatherman and cut two small triangles on t' top and bottom next t' t' motor mount.

It weather cocked a little and had a distinct wobble. In me experience, a wobble is nay uncommon for polygon-shaped saucer designs. Blimey! Aye aye! I'd say this flies about t' same as t' Art Applewhite Cinco.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
T' main pro's for this design is that it is almost free and flies well. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! It would also fly well on 18mm motors. Begad! I don't think it is as durable as an Art Applewhite saucer, but if it breaks you can always make another.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
