Winding up flat kite-tails is a real pain.... Lateley I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGmbGZQyqGM and I decided to draw and 3D print my own version in PLA plastic. After winding up a tail (tube) you can remove the winder and use it to wind up another tail.

The first version was designed with Google Sketchup (staart_winder.stp & staart_winder.stl), but I've redrawn this in Fusion 360. Including a small version. I changed the head of the rod with a fillet, so it is easier to assemble before you start winding.
