My first Girandola


Recommended Posts

Posted

Nice first wheel. I'd suggest pressing a bit more fuel in the endburners. I use 60 grams of hot 70-18-12 fuel in 19.7 mm endburners. Nevertheless, well done.

 

I've made some girandolas too, I've taped them. I'll see if I can upload them.

 

Well done, thanks for sharing.

Yes that's right.

Since it was my first attempt, I made that short motors, because

I did not know if it works at all. :D

They are great things. Loaaaads of work, but ever so cool. Mine also had the horizontal drivers , just as yours. I'll see if I can upload the clip this week. I can suggest glitter drivers or comets, those are very nice and give an almost alien look to the dola.

 

Don't get me wrong, well done man!..

No problem, happy to listen to criticism. This brings new ideas and to learn more.

I also thought to attach glitter fountains on the next Dola. :)

Let's see when I get to it.

Nice work, do you have any build pics or more details, my dolas nearly always chase me while I try different arrangements of angles and drivers.

Looks like the bottom of a gallon jug/bucket for the base. Great idea and nice dola for a first time attempt.

Thank you.

 

Yes, I used the bottom of a small bucket. :D

It's upside down :) thanks its easy enough to understand.

The angle of the motors surprises me a bit being nearly vertical but make sense since most of the spin comes from a different motor.

 

Thankyou, hopefully I won't get chased around anymore.
