Very good!

A Space Sled



A Marquardt Space Sled, designed for individual space maneuvering in the vicinity of a spacecraft, this design was never used and instead they went with the shuttle manned maneuvering unit.

Ding! ding! Anselm is the winner! It is the Moller skycar. You were almost there HIMNL9, because it's a vtol.

I don't know how well it flies, if it loses one engine.

Tell me what it does or what it's called...

It is ~9mm at the largest point but can be larger
for larger uses... I have some that are ~12mm in
dia.

It looks as a spring contact for a pushbutton (i mean, the inside spring that made the "click" and close the contact between the poles) ..... from one of these flat pcb-mounted buttons .....

Lasersbee: looks damn familiar...
It's not from an RC heli though, is it?
Is it flexible?

Please HIMNL9 go ahead, IMO the more the merrier.
In the meantime I'll just leave this here. Looking for the actual name, it's kinda obvious what it does.

@ HIMNL9.... No it has nothing to do with anything
electrical...

@ anselm... No it is not part of a R/C Heli..
I believe it is made of thin Brass... and is semi flexible.
