How To Make An Easy Night Flight Frisbee

Step 1: Cut The Shaft

Here's a quick way to add lights to an ordinary Frisbee using a cheap light-up yo-yo. It's so easy, anyone can do it. Take an Exacto knife and on the bottom of the Frisbee will be a small indentation directly in the center. Use the Exacto knife to enlarge this hole to allow the shaft of the yo-yo to fit through the center. The two halves of the yo-yo will come apart easily by turning them on the shaft. You can then open up each half with a small screwdriver.

Step 2: Circuit Boards

Inside will be the lighted circuit board. You'll want to keep the clear plastic and side section and the circuit board from each side. The other side contains the shaft which we'll need to tap out in reverse.

Now take the circuit boards and place them back inside the plastic halves. Set one on the top and one on the bottom of the Frisbee, centering them over the hole. Now just insert the shaft back through the center. And tighten on the bottom. That's it.

Step 3: Centrifugal Force

The centrifugal force caused by throwing the Frisbee will make each half light up just like the spinning yo-yo. The small, easily replaceable button cell batteries will last for hours and the effects are really pretty cool.

And the best part is, it doesn't really take any special skills to make one of these. Have fun and thanks for watching.
