Description

This is a launched variation of my Version 1 Whirly-Gig, it uses a gearbox to increase the RPM of the Whirly-Gig leading to better flight time, a better max altitude, and better flight characteristics. It requires assembly, the order in which the gears are put in doesn't matter except for the launch gear. When gluing the puller together, the teeth sections have one end with a full-ish tooth and one end with a not full tooth. Glue the not full tooth to the full-ish tooth for the correct spacing. I recommend super glue or modeling cement for this project. The handle screws into the propeller. When printing this, print everything except for the handle and prop with a 25% gyroid infill. Print the handle solid and print the propeller with a 30% gyroid infill. The gear ratio is roughly 125:1 at the launch gear. Please share this item and my account with your friends.
