Thanks, FrankRizzo for posting the second vid which really shows better how my girandolas are built. Smoking may be unhealthy, but the tobacco tins are dead useful. ;) For the time being I get my girandolas flying

without engine power.

Fizeau,

 

You should put together a tutorial to post in the "Member Tutorials" section of the forum. Your design uses materials which most people would have on hand or could make wholesale substitutions without many problems. I'd love to see an article from ya. :)

Thanks for your interest in a tutorial, I'm flattered. :)

I'll try to start one as soon as possible. It will be my first, so I have to ask for patience.

And I have to find a camera first or find a way to extract pics out of a vid.

Using a free program called VLC Media Player, you can pause video and save the frames very easily. Just right-click on the video display, and click on "snapshot" in the menu that appears. :)

I never really took much interest into wheels and Girandolas. But after watching some of fizeau's videos I am quite surprised and I really liked them. I'll make one this weekend hopefully and if it is not a total failure I may post it here :P.

 

Keep up the good work fizeau!

thx to Frank Rizzo for the tip, as many older guys I´m kind of a "PC newbie" , so every suggestion is appreciated. I'll do my best to cobble a useful tutorial together.

Gunzway, thanks for your friendly comment! It´s nice to hear that my little

toys inspired you to give them a try. I´m sure you will not be dissapointed.

It´s so much better to watch wheels and Girs in reality, especially when

they're self-made ...! Wish you good luck with your projects.
