Gave a go at making a kestros
Sep 8th, 2015 at 7:54am
 
Here is a look at a kestrophedrone I made. The shaft is a mop handle, the fins duct tape, and the head is small tube with one end flattened and a quick forged broadhead blade attached.

There are three of four threads and design for kestros'.  Each one is slightly different from  the other.  Does yours work?

can i suggest you make a non lethal tip.

Say change the metal for rubber or foam.

Less likely to be arrested or kill someone Smiley

There is that. 

Until you get the bugs worked out of it, it would probably be a lot safer for you and all the bystanders if you had a non lethal tip.

It's not like you have to break a shield wall...
