Hi,
I was bored one day and thinking about putting together a 13mm rocket. So i'm like why not use popsicle as fins and bend them so it will spin during flight. So after eatting 3 popsicle:D :D . I let them soak in water for an hour or 2. Then with duct tape and a 2 liter bottle. I taped them on the bottle. Let them sit and walla I have a beautiful curve. I have the the motor mount drying at this time. I will have some pictures up in the next day.

... I found a great way to keep my toilet bowl water that bright clean blue.... blue berry popsicles! The only problem is that you have to eat a ton of them.
 
If you want to make it spin without the work of bending the sticks, just mount them slightly canted ala a fan blade.
