How to Fly a Whirly Gig or Propeller Toy

http://prairiewindtoys.com - Charlie demonstrates how to launch the whirly gig, a flying toy that you launch with a two-hand twist. Soars to amazing heights! This great folk toy demonstrates the principle of the modern windmill's rotor or the airplane's propeller. Place the stick between you hands. Push one hand toward you and the other away and the whirly gig's rotor lifts is high into the air. Be careful not to get it stuck up on the roof of your house!
