Home Made X ZYLO Flying Gyroscope Toy

Hello Visitor, I decided to have a go at making this simple flying toy from an empty 2 Litre Soft drink bottle using simple tools from around the home that every one has at there dispossal. It was really easy to make in under two hours.

nice vid mate ,i was curious after seeing the retail version on making my own so first was paper although a few pessimistic fools said that you cannot i have proved that you can & very easy although is not really an outdoor flyer unless calm & also will not fly that far but still an interesting paper glider, so next will be a plastic bottle & i will follow your design & see how it goes, if it works good then as im a fabricator/welder i will try a rolled alluminium version & i may even do a vid:)

all i did was add tape to the front!!

maybe if you could, i am not saying you have to,make another video about adding more tape and improvements

[MagicBytes]

Well Done ! MarcusLKF001, its really nice to see some people are using there imagination and taking a step further and experimenting, I never thought of adding tape, well done Marcus :D, Thanks for watching my video and taking the time to reply, when I get time I will add your suggestion to my next video, thanks Marcus, Cheers from the MagicBytes.

this video sucks!!!! no instructions at all i couldnt find the right way to fold the paper to where it was cut right or fold the bottle. i dont know how everyon else got it right

[footballfrog11]

you should make a video of u throwing yours

[DaR3dSheep]

@Psycho983 Maybe it's the way you throw it, I know I had trouble getting to fly myself, then I watched the a vid of the X-Zylo and saw how they threw it in the video ^^

[RadioLogics]

I saw this video and decided to try this myself. My first go proved unsuccessful but i persevered and have finally made one that flies...and flies well!

[Psycho983]

wonderful tutorial, but for some reason, mine does not fly...it will kinda wobble around and then drop... Im not sure what i did wrong, do you have any advice? But like i said, wonder ful toturial and cool use of your imagination and intelect to create the x-zylon.

My X-Zylo doesn't Fly Yo !!!! ;)

Very cool instructional - would have liked to see it thrown. How does it fly in comparison to the real thing?
