Impressive both for whoever thought it up and for those who have the skills to make it!

It's not that difficult. It's a kit. I was surprised how well it works!

[@stevenprobelski8029]

That is a great design! I appreciate your description in English also. Please keep sharing and talking about what you are doing nd how you're doing it..
Thank you,
Steve

Thanks Steve. I recorded this video before the first flights. Actually, it's way too short to explain in detail how this freewheel works. Thanks to Igabow's plan at the end, hopefully one can still get an idea of how it works.

Michael Kelly, one of our FAC members built it and it went OOS last year. Great Flyer!

[@rubberfly]

Exactly. In the first part of the UTE videos I linked two videos of Michael Kelly in the description. Mine is a little heavier than Michael's, but also flies very nicely.😁

Great to see, thank you 😀

[@rubberfly]

Thank you for watching 😁

[@martinhurda256]

Amazing idea! Pleas make a video, how you make a propp with spiner. Thank you 😊

[@rubberfly]

Martin, thank you for your comment. This propeller - head is part of the kit of the 'UTE' and already built. The video is intended as support for the build of this kit. But if the plan at the end of the video is studied carefully, it should be possible to build such a freewheel in the required size. At my build - video of the UTE you can see the raw prop as well : th-cam.com/video/WonT6whU5GU/w-d-xo.html
