Twin Otter aerosled

Oh, that is wonderful! Not as whimsical as, say, your polar bear/Noreseman hybrid. But your Twin Otter aerosled is very believable  :)

 :-* Lovely! And this bright red colour is not outlaw in icy Canada but reminding the flag and perfect to see from the skies if emergency is required after an engine failure at mid-way...

Sorry, I did not realize... (when I said "it looks like Real", maybe this could have been heard as an insult by you inventor...) ??? ::) ;) :)

I love this vein! while, uh, I don't love "blue blood" (royal, privileged fed by taxes without work...) and the red blood one stays my favourite ;) But as a toy family, this is even better than a single abnormal machine, thanks a lot!

I really like the blue aerocar! Looks like it jumped off the cover of Modern Mechanix!

If you added a circular guard around the prop and weathered it, I bet you could get a few to think this was real!

Nicely done, eric!

a guard around the propeller would make it safer indeed : better use it in uninhabited areas  ;)

Seamew aerocar : avionirics Re: hybrids aircraft/animals and others
« Reply #310 on: September 10, 2015, 02:54:47 PM »

I think I didn't show this before : an experiment, quite basic building, but a
potentially rocket powered Seamew-based aerocar

(I have  quite a few spare fuselages looking for usage ; and spats as well)

Of course, I was so inspired... I HAD TO draw such Lightnings! But so many ones in my collection have been inspired by Master ericr, the names ER-38 and ERI-38 were already used, so I decided for IcEr-38 (A, B, C), as a transformation of ErIc, crazily upside down! (this is the crazy part, because the Aerocars themselves are very serious, out of town with pedestrians):

Great! This large high wing on the back of a little cow seemed unbalanced and fragile, but with the additional struts sustaining it (thanks to the designer or to Mother Nature), this becomes perfect.
