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 decal

Thankfully there's another review ahead of me that adequately described the laborious construction process, so I'll submit an abbreviated version. Suffice it to say that even though I type fairly quickly, I'm long-winded enough that this review will take longer to post than the rocket took to build, including finishing! I might have invested 5 minutes of effort in this, plus another 5 to paint, and most folks will choose not to even bother painting.

Construction consists of gluing the motor block into the motor tube, adding a launch lug, and letting it dry. Then glue the assembly into the plywood disk. Let dry. You're done.

Finishing:
OK, I cheated on this and didn't bother filling the tube spirals, nor did I do more than a cursory sanding of the underside of the plywood disk. I shot everything with one coat of gray primer, sanded it down a bit with 400 grit sandpaper, then shot everything one more time with a flat black paint I had leftover form a project a few years ago.

When the paint had dried overnight, I peeled off and applied the pizza decal. It fit perfectly. Done.

Construction Rating: 5 out of 5

Flight:
First flight was going for the max with a C6-0. While I occasionally fly saucers with non -0 motors, I would definitely not recommend it for this model. The non-zeros have ejection charges that can get pretty hot, and they'd be likely to char the pizza decal. Definitely stick with -0s, which are much less violent.

The flight wobbled and wiggled along a fairly vertical path, slightly weathercocked into an 8 mph wind. It flew just like a spool/saucer rocket. Not exactly one of my peak performers but exactly what a saucer/spool does.

Recovery:
The pizza was still going up a bit when the -0 sputtered out, but it quickly turned back over and started the head-over-heels tumble back down. It landed in the tall grass about 30 yards downwind from the pad, without a trace of damage (and motor still in).

Flight Rating: 5 out of 5

Summary:
What's not to love about this? For $5 (less than the shipping charge), you get a cool spool rocket that can be built in 5 minutes, flies fine, takes virtually no prep or post-flight time, can be flown on small fields, and the pizza sticker is a great touch.

I know there are folks who are just anti-saucer in general and I lean a bit that way myself, but if you have even a slight interest in spool or saucer rockets, pick up a few of these. You won't regret it.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5
