My new years yard ornament is started... I want a model airplane.

I had a big gas engine collection (over 3000) Sold most of them.

I still have a few hundred. Got to do something with them.

I got the prop made. Next is the body. The engine is a twin Maytag.

Forgot pictures....

I am thinking to really shake it up, a cannon in the front yard!!

 

 

 

Or maybe go Sci Fi on them, bet that gets me on the news.  Might find that rich relative that claims me then.  Or make money off having it in front yard…..

 

 

Had this in back yard for a few years.

Don't tempt me with the laser cannon. I'm too close to Washington DC.

I can make it be mobile, you can "borrow" it for a day or so before the Men in Black show up.
