Whirligigs and more

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:39 am

Made a few whirligigs , a couple airplanes and men, the big plane has a six foot wingspan. The props are model A water pumps and fans, they turn real easy in a light breeze.

The bike one i`ve had for years and was made by a friend.

Nice!! Stick a prop on the nose of the first one and it would resemble a Ford Tri-Motor.

Pitch, you are one creative bugger. One question, who's the babe on the back of the bike? Ann Margaret?-------------Sixgun

Pitchy, those are perfect for you. You stay on the ground and let them do the flying.

Pitch, they are soo coool...
But I want to send a word of caution as you probably already know is that for the metal bladed ones that are to close to the ground, should be set out of reach of little kids and stupid dummies that might stick a hand into them.
Now how about one of them whirligigs with a deer jumping an Pitchy shooting at it with his 45-60, cocking an blasting away and his gun jumping too...?

Changed the title because the thread is about Whirligigs not airplanes.
You wanted levergun action well there it is.
