Brief:
It's a flying pizza. What else can be said?
Construction:
The kit contains one engine tube, one thrust ring, one 1/8" launch lug, One large laser cut pie ring, and one
large pizza sticker.
This was extremely easy to build. Took less than 5 minutes. Glue the thrust ring inside the engine tube. Then draw a line straight down the tube. Glue the launch lug on the line. Glue the engine tube inside the pizza pan, flush with the edge, and then paint when dry. Make sure the launch lug is lined up with the hole in the pan before the glue dries.
Finishing:
After some quick silver paint, it was just putting the pizza sticker on it, which has stayed on quite well.
Construction Rating: 5 out of 5
Flight:
Only one flight so far on a C6-0. Flew straight about 350 feet and then flipped end over end down to a safe tumble
recovery.
Recovery:
Tumble recovery was perfect with a completely safe recovery.
Flight Rating: 5 out of 5
Summary:
Everybody at the club (CATO) was laughing at this flight. This is a fun little flight, and people in the club are
going to buy more. For 5 bucks, you can't go wrong here.

It would be extremely difficult to find a more simple rocket to assemble. The design features a grand total of five parts, laser cut lite ply disc, engine tube, engine block, launch lug, and the pizza decal. The Pie ...

Brief: This has got to be one of the neatest "saucer" designs I've seen. It flies good (well, for a saucer), and looks tasty. It's not every day you see a flying pizza. Construction: A quick 2 days after my online order, the nicely packed box arrived with the following parts in the baggie: Plywood disk Motor tube Launch lug Motor block Adhesive ...
- Squirrel Works Pie In The Sky By Donald Besaw Jr (August 27, 2008)
Brief: Mmmm, fresh oven hot pizza--and an oddroc to boot! That's right, a flying pizza and it also flies on 18mm B6-0 and C6-0 motors and tumbles upon recovery. However, you might not want to build one if you are currently having any pizza cravings. Construction: This kit is extremely simple and only contains six pieces if you count the pizza decal and instruction sheet. In ...
