I made a propeller Xmas display, a few years back. A major limiting factor is your eyeballs. My display rotates somewhere between 250 to 400 rpm. This limitation is due mostly to wind resistance. The motor free runs ~1800rpm. At that rate, it still forms an acceptable display. It falls apart if it gets too much slower. There really isn't anyway around it unless you re-engineer human eyeballs. You're just gonna half to swing it back-n-forth faster.
That's maybe why, those you've have done it, just stick to complete revolutions. It just makes it easier.
