You can tell the experienced vet when they have to work anywhere near the backside of an elephant they wear a raincoat.

"A real pig to fly" or "when pigs fly" are the first two things that I thought of upon seeing your latest creation :)

Interesting combination you have come up with Eric.

ah, I hadn't thought of that : next time maybe  ;)

by the way, note that ears are notebooks, the same kind as the wings of the Ar196 earlier in this thread

Cool one this ericr (as they always are!)

Scary thing is, if you DID stick an eraser on its tail, put a gap for a Post-It Note pad init's back, and made the pencil and eraser removable and useable, you could sell absolute container loads of these! School kids would love them, what a moment of a visit to a wildlife park!!

triplane wings somehow fit well on a steam locomotive of the appropriate diameter :

(I had no Internet for awhile, and I enjoy very much what I had missed, I don't even know which one is my favourite, among 3 delicious ones: elephant worker, triplane pig, train aircraft...) :-* :-* :-*

thanks  :D

and now for a musical intermede :

I recently travelled to Andalusia, and found this cute little souvenir :



which reminded me instantly of this magnificent image, from a record cover :



and then a bit later my stash welcomed a cheap bi-motor of adequate size :



and here is the result

Thinking about it, I judge that the guitar aircraft makes our dear ericr the very first Aerospace artistic designer (and manufacturer) in the World, since Jesus-Christ, or even before... Admirative congratulations of mine... :-*

triplanes and sea shells Re: hybrid aircraft/animals and others
« Reply #272 on: July 20, 2015, 03:31:30 PM »
thanks all!

anf for those who wondered what I did wth the rest of the two triplanes, here comes the solution to the mystery, which begins with the fact that in a recent travel i bought a last souvenir at the airport, with my remaining local currency :



with the purposeful intention of exploring further the snail shell effect :

the third one in yellow, is a Saaski (of which the wings will find a destnity, undoubtdedly) :

Being a tread-head I don't normally admit to scanning the Aero-space threads but just had a look at this one and I take my hat off to you sir.  You bring a whole new meaning to whiffing - the world needs more lateral thinkers.  BRAVO!  ;D :)
