How do you say in English the (French) sound "Tuuuuut !"?

Toooot? 

Thanks! The sound is close, the letters match

[Captain Canada]

[ericr]

remember the psychedelic band Gong ?



it was just too tempting for me, so I bought a teapot, and a fitting AS350 Écureuil from Heller, 1/48

[zenrat]

Ah, the wonderful world of Gong and Daevid Allen.

Have you been smoking what they were smoking?

[Tophe]

Wonderful!
and cheers

[steelpillow]

there was definitely somthing herbal in the air around Gong, it is an historical fact

[Tophe]

a snow-car? delicious!

[DogfighterZen]

That should be quite a ride! 

[PR19_Kit]

That's WONDERFUL Ericr. 

[ericr]

thanks all! I appreciate your appreciation !

another helicopter submitted to this transformation
(my stash is getting smaller and smaller !  )
is a bit more sturdy-looking, and of russian origin :
the Mi-2

as a flying teapot (with an Aladdin-like style)





and as an aerosled (with skis from a Twin Otter : my spares box is also getting smaller) :

[Tophe]

better and better!

I'd call the flying teapot Russell's teapot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot
