The guys at Phantasmechanics designed this prop, and you will find very detailed, easy to follow instructions on how to build your own Flying Crank Ghost on their web site. So far I have not come across any way to better this project, but I did find a gear motor that costs quite a bit less. The motor I am referring to is a 10rpm 120v gearhead motor (part# ACGM9753) from C & H sales. This motor doesn't have half as much torque and may not have the warranty that the Dayton motor has, but for $8.95, I wouldn't complain. The only other change I made to their plans was that I didn't use the cheesecloth material they mentioned. Instead I used a bridal veil material(tulle), I found at a near by fabric store. Tulle is about $1-2.00 per yard and has a 4-6 foot width. This stuff works great and is very easy to use. Well that's about it on this one. Check out a few pictures (and eventually a video) of my Flying Crank Ghost.
