KirTech LAB Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) Hello all! I want to present my MINI BUILD contest model – it is launcher for propeller. The aircraft is a blade mounted on axle. At the same time axle is a stabilizer. Also you can use two crossed blades. Most of all I like 12l stabilizer because it provides very smooth flight. The gear allows to control launch power. Acceleration is provided by pull-back motor. The model is equipped with spring loaded trigger and pointer power indicator. The maximum flight altitude is about six meters. You can establish competition in accuracy (target ring included) or maximum length of flight. Total part quantity – 200. Video-demonstration with time-lapse build: Thanks for watching!

grum64 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) Very nice. It's imaginative and very different to the entries posted so far. I'm looking forward to seeing the video. Edited July 12, 2014 by grum64 Quote
legomuppet9 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 really cool and very imaginative but I cant see this being sold as a Lego set due to health and safety... (once again H&S is ruining our day ) Quote
plew2000 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Wow this is breathtaking! you should put this on cusso. Quote
viracocha Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Can't wait to see the rest of your entry! Good job! Quote
Kelkschiz Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I am not sure where the idea came from but it has been done before. Cool extra functions though! Quote
legomuppet9 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Lego have done similar before.... These are circular blades though which are safer Quote
KirTech LAB Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Thanks all for comments! I hope i'll complete the description at this week! really cool and very imaginative but I cant see this being sold as a Lego set due to health and safety... I don't think so, Lego produce very much shooting sets and all of them aren't absolutely safe. I am not sure where the idea came from but it has been done before. It has been done before with high probability... as well as many front loaders, trucks, boats etc... What set did you get the propeller from? 8222 - plane from my childhood :) Quote
