This is my creation of a wind vane. I designed it, to use it on miiiike's Vertical Windmill Mk2, but it can be used as a stand-alone.
Allthough the Vertical Windmill Mk2 used carbon fibre rods, I used steel 4mm rods. In the tip of the vane, I use a 8mm rod.
For the bearings, I used 8x16x5(688ZZ) bearings from Banggood:

I got the rods from my local construction market.
