This is another flying toy project I wanted to get to for a long time.

With a pull of the ripcord, you can launch propeller rings (or spinners as I call them) nearly 30 ft high or more than that horizontally.

You will need:
* 2 608 bearings (not included)
* 1 axle
* 1 gear
* 1 base
* 1 handle
* 1 or more spinners

The spinner naming convention is:
* bld = blade
* spr = spinner (or propeller ring or disk or whatever)
* w = width
* d = degree (for angle of attack)
* h = height

The spinners I have posted are the ones that performed the best based on my testing.

***UPDATE*** I'm experimenting with twisted blade spinners and have just posted a couple: 3 bld spr 120w 55d-20d 8h v3.stl and 3 bld spr 120w 55d-10d 8h v3.stl Both fly awesome and I believe may be better than the flat blades, which was the hope (less drag)

Want to make your own spinner??? Please do and post it! I posted a STEP file template so you can create your own. I can't wait to see what you co
