OT - Build Your Own Airplane

http://www.strangecosmos.com/view.adp?picture_id=4904

Those poor engines…

Think of it as a gift for the guy/gal who has everything. Richard Burton gave Lizzy Taylor a four engine aircraft. Just think how that “special someone” will feel when they get one of these!

Mine is invisible to radar. I call it “TubeDude-Force One.”

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

That’s almost as strange as Bonsai Kitten.

Please note before you click the above link and fly off into a rage, that the site is nothing more than a sick joke.
The Humane Society has investigated it, and it turned out to be a complete hoax.

:laughing: That’s definetly the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen!

oh my god, I thought it was real, I didn’t read your “disclaimer” at first. Still is one of sickest “jokes” I’ve ever seen.

They really “investigated” that, instead of reading it, laughing it off, and going back to business? They’re either overstaffed or have some bonzai convolutions…

Nice links anyway… Now, where did I recently see a Bonzai Low Whistles page ; they were shrunk to get about 12" short, and some could even fit a pocket! Unfortunately, the voice of the poor things WAS harmed… :frowning:

Oh, man, Zoob! You are soooooo gullible! That was one of my Low-Q (“Buy a Serpent Low-Q to match yer IQ!”) promotional whistles, sold at an Arkansas Chevy dealership, and stomped into a High A# when the purchaser discovered that it leaked badly when used to store moonshine. I have since improved the fipple by soldering it entirely shut, and left off the fingerholes. A nifty cork with a bit of wallet-chain completes the ensemble!

I was going to send one to Jessie for review, but we sold out in Podunk Junction, and there are none left. :smiley:
Cheers,

My grandmother always used to keep a roll of fly paper hanging in the kitchen. The flies stuck to it and eventually died, I guess. You could line the upper wing of the plane with that. I think it would be easier than messing with glue

Dunno about B-natural, but somebody around here’s sure smoked too much of somethin’!

We actually did this when I was 10, but we used the thinnest balsa wood I have ever seen. We would put one fly on the nose of the plane and some of them flew quite well.

aw, poor flies. :frowning:


Wouldn’t it be a little more humane like to just squish them and be done with it?
