Bill Dunlap Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I had a little time on my hands and decided to put some parts together. My neighbor wanted to see the process of how I come up with these things, so I made consecutive videos of the work in progress and put them together from start to finish. I left out the drudgery of cutting, bending, soldering, drilling and tapping chores. I've moved on to restoring a 16 inch Verity's Orbital next.

John Landstrom Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I’m just humbled by the talent Bll demonstrated here. Beautiful work. I’m temped to make an offer, but my wife would prefer a new car instead. Bill, Is it possible for you to list the fan components you used? Make/model/where you bought them, etc. I’m very curious. Looking for a reverse pitch propeller for a project of mine; albeit nothing close to that gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Nice, Bill. I see it as "stepping outside the box" with what you are working with. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Dunlap Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Thanks all for the very generous comments. I tested the battery charge duration and it came to about 3 hours. That's a bit short so, first, I made a trap door for quick battery changes and, second, I ordered an extension cable for the charging plug. That way I can just leave it on the charger and I won't have to change batteries unless I'm in a mobile situation. The 3s battery still isn't here, so I haven't been able to test that one out yet.

That fan was gifted to me by a colleague visiting me a long while back. It came from his dad and was sitting in the corner of the basement. Just passing it along. Enjoy.

Thanks for sharing your creative process with us. Love the counter-rotating design! Your creative skills are quite amazing and it is impressive the power those small brushless motors have!

David Kilnapp Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Agree with everything Dave Allen says, Bill. I'll only add that I would gladly pay to have you build one for me. Is there any chance you would consider that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
