Just place them on the spinning block to create a propeller. It's the only use of it as far as i know. Attachments:

Place the propeller so the flatter side on "top" if you want thrust. One trick for placing them on spinning blocks is to also mount them on turning blocks, so you can control the angle, and thus the thrust. If you also initially place the propellers with the flat sides "against the angle of rotation" your bot won't IMMEDIATELY fly, until you manually change the angle of the blade for more thrust.

Thanks for your help but I'm sorry, I didn't understand anything  Probably because my english is quite poor as it's not my native language, I'm more of a pictures guy in this case. Thanks again in any case. |

Yea I wasn't sure I was making sense even to us native speakers!
Ok, so...in the picture there, the propellers are in the "flat side on top" orientation, If you rotate them once with R from that position, they will provide no thrust.

Add 2 spinning blocks o top of eachother to get more spin. Warning: it will explode eventually, the power of torque ahnialates both sides of the spinning Block aka the spinning block shreds everything to bits

I recommend using the steering thing instead of the spinning thing. You can hotkey the steering thing to a specific key and then power on the propellers when you want to!

It doesn't make much sense 'cause steering block is too slow to create any lift force. If you want to control it, better attach propellers to the wheel. |

Oh yeah the steering thing doesn't have the speed adjustment. Yea the wheel would work best for some controlled propulsion, my bad!
