Stabilized Wax Slugs - ALMOST Impossible Physics ─ TAOFLEDERMAUS

I accidentally created some stabilized wax slugs. Rather than tumbling, these flew nose-forward. However, the effect has no practical benefits.

What's weird about these is how the slugs are balanced and use drag stabilization with the drag located very close to the center of gravity of the slug. The center of gravity must still be ahead of the drag otherwise these would not work. Just some more weird stuff I discovered on some of the footage you normally wouldn't see.
