TK-44 Birdie Plans
Scott...........I tried to upload the TK-44 scans but they are too big at 2.06 MB each. Is there a way to compress them or scan at a lower resolution so that I can send them to you?

Scott...........second attempt at uploading the TK-44 plans. Quality is not great because I had to reduce the resolution to get a file that was small enough for the upload.

Send them to me in two separate email messages at scotth@execpc.com. Thanks. That way I can get the correct (high) quality scans up on the YORP site. Scott

Thanks to the low-res plans from Joe, I got this little guy built. I got to launch it a couple of times this weekend - just as much fun as I remembered it! First flight was an A10-3T and the second was an A3-4T. With both flights, the birdie flew up, arced over and ejected in a nose down attitude. The ejection kicked that little birdie straight into the grass. Too cool! If you get a chance to build one, do so! You won't be sorry!

A10-PT's
Quote:
You can also utilize the "bounce" recovery by simply using the A10-PT for the Birdie's. The "nose" should be soft, yet tough enough to serve this purpose.

They fly nice and are perfect for launching in a yard or driveway. They don't go very high or drift far and I have seen them fall through a tree with out getting stuck.

That Much?!!
Quote:
Wow, some are willing to bid that much for a Birdie? This one isn't even the original kit with the "S" engines. When I put one of my unopened Centuri UFO Invader kit on the auction block on Rocketry Online, after seven days the top bid was only about $70.

The TK-birdie is actually VERY rare....it was produced for a much shorter time than the S-Series one....I think it only existed from '73 to '74
