Note: Before beginning to assemble your model, adhere printout pages to adhesive-backed cardstock. Back all pages except those marked "Do not adhere to cardstock."

  • Cut out propeller and washer
  • Glue washer to propeller
  • Drill a hole through the center of the propeller just large enough for dowelling to pass through snugly
  • Cut a piece of dowelling 6 inches long
  • Slide propeller onto dowel and use super glue to glue in place 1/4 inch from end of dowel as shown
  • When glue has dried, bend the blades of the propeller into a curved wing shape

To make the propeller fly, hold the dowel between the palms of your hands. Slide your right hand forward rapidly and release. The propeller will fly upward like a helicopter.
