Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

The LED display thingy is a great idea too. Edited by AllanS 2006-06-14

I like the look of that one. High speed darrius.

I wonder how it'd go if the vanes were made of car-tire material. It'd last forever, be easy to twist into the helix, and if it revved too high, the rubber would lose its shape and so limit the speed. If it did fly apart, damage would be minimal.
