P.S:Someone please upload a video of an attempt to make it fly.
P.S.S:You may need to scale it up as it's ridiculously small due to the limitations in build size for the Makerbot,though I may have scaled it down too much.Or a screw up in Sketchup software may have messed it up.Real bad.
Instructions

You have to download MeshLab to turn Sketchup files into .stl files.
In Sketchup, make sure you have cleaned it up completely. None of the outside faces should be purple. It should all be white. If it is not, select face, right click, reverse face. Also check to see if any extra lines have been left behind inside the model.
Next, click [File], scroll down to Exp
ort =
&
gt; 3d Model
Make sure you save it as .dae and not .kmz
Then in MeshLab, click [File], scroll down to Import Mesh
Open the .dae file and click [OK] to anything that comes up
Move and rotate the part to make sure that none of the faces are reversed
if they are, go back to your Sketchup model and reverse the faces (Select face, right click, reverse face)
If everything looks good, click [File], Export Mesh As, change the file type to .stl and hit [Save]

That's pretty cool! 8-)
It'll be a LOT easier to print if you change the center (which faces down in the model) to be even with the ring, though. Just nuke the cone and push/pull the center circle to be even with the outside ring.
I would suggest uploading an STL and adding depth to the tops "Wings"
