[QUOTE="ARKM, post: 5042189, member: 9820"] While I never made a mingun prop, when I was a younger man (before cordless drills were invented), I thought about it and my idea was butchering a bicycle frame to use only the area that the cranks go through and using the crank's ball bearings and whatnot to create a support shaft for a minigun prop. It would be strong enough to support even a heavy barrel setup with not a lot of torque required to make it spin. I was going to try to use a "high end" electric RC car motor to make it spin. However I'm not sure it would have had enough power to do so. Anywho, I'm sure there are better ways to do it, ways that have been done... but that was my way. [/QUOTE]
