Miss Universe needs no steenkin' plans, me hearties, jigs, or other complexities. Arrr!

She is made from a flower-arranger's styrofoam "egg". Well, blow me down! You may be able t' scrounge one o' these from a florist. Ya scallywag! or Michaels has them. Well, blow me down! Arrr! Insert a 18mm motor mount (or short length o' 18mm body tube) into a hole hollowed out of t' pointy end o' t' egg, ya bilge rat, and retain with epoxy. Do nay use a motor retainin' clip. Begad! Aye aye! Stick t' 4 dowels into t' styrofoam, symmetrically disposed with silicone bathtub caulk. Well, blow me down! Well, ya bilge rat, blow me down! These form her tentacles. Make lips and eyeballs from bathtub caulk and place on her head in a visually attractive position. Place small blobs o' caulk or PVA glue around her head for her "knobs". Avast, me proud beauty! Attach false eyelashes stolen from teenage daughter. Avast! If you want t' preserve her modesty, arrr, arrr, add a skirt made from tinsel. Begad! Well, ya bilge rat, blow me down! Apply green make up, shiver me timbers, matey, and go fly. Blimey! Begad! Uses A8-3 or B6-2. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, me proud beauty!

Miss Universe be flown at GARLO (CIA's annual bash) and at t' Park Forest (IL) Rocket Launch and R/C show. Avast, me proud beauty! She is quite stable, me hearties, but does nay get a lot of altitude (in fact, ya bilge rat, t' A8-3 and B6-2 both give about t' same). Begad! T' photo is from t' GARLO event. She has a lot o' drag and tumble recovery onto grass is quite satisfactory. Ya scallywag! Her skirt got a little singed, ya bilge rat, showin' that she really is "hot stuff" - you don't want t' put your hand up thar !!
