Brief:
This is an upscale of Art's 13mm Cinco flying saucer. (The original is a free kit available as a download off Art's website.) I built this after Art's Ultra Delta and couldn't believe it has even fewer parts: three total. That's it! The kit is all cardstock and can be built with either an 18mm or 24mm motor mount.

Construction:
It consists of two sheets of cardstock, containing three parts that need to be cut out.

Materials required are scissors, X-Acto knife with new blade, Elmer's white glue, new or used engine casing, ballpoint pen.

This kit involves cutting, folding, and gluing. It has three parts, what else do I need to say? Tips for this one: 1) don't use too much glue. 2) In the last step when you insert the motor tube into the shell, insert the mount with a motor in it. This will make the mount's insertion a bit easier.

Finishing:
As usual, finishing involves a few coats of clear coat.

Construction Rating: 5 out of 5

Flight:
The recommended motors are:

Flight prep includes friction fitting the motor. Unlike the Ultra Delta, this kit is intended to only fly on Estes 2.75" motors. I deducted 1/2 point because I love to fly these small saucers on E9s.

I flew the 24mm version at the 3rd Annual TRF Reunion at Whitakers, NC on a D12-0 alongside a standard saucer, a Delta saucer, and an Ultra Delta Saucer. If flew great but fought the wind and weathercocked more than the Ultra Delta, so I dinged it another 1/2 point, if only to make a differentiation between the two.

Flight Rating: 4 out of 5

Summary:
This is yet another simple, inexpensive, high performance saucer kit. When I built the saucer, I was thinking that the all cardstock 24mm design may not be as sturdy as the Art's other products. I know I only have one flight on it, but I now don't see that as an issue. The one issue I see is that the motor block, formed as a part of the motor tube, will be exposed to hot gasses whether you use booster or sustainer motors. Since most people will not be using plugged motors, the life expectancy of the rocket will be reduced. After one flight it was sooty but there was no evidence of damage.
