LCM & sails, red : hybrid aircraft/animals e.a.

[ericr]

Given your propensity for mixing animals and aeroplanes, I was somewhat surprised (not to say relieved) that that's such a relatively sensible idea.

Must admit I have a vision of an Aerosled with an elephant's head on the back end blowing through its trunk to propel it 

are you tempting me ? 

[Captain Canada]

Oh I like that ! Looks great and certainly has potential as a RW build if you ask me. Twotters that land and have their wings and tails removed and then a pusher added to become a ground vehicle ? Oh yeah.....

thanks! your pseudo certainly makes you an expert in usability of this design in the Great North

in the same vein ...
(still no animal  although there is a Lynx)

a Westland Lynx based aerocar (it's the very old Frog Lynx)

[Captain Canada]

Nice ! And as a real vehicle that one could make even more sense than the Twotter....no removing wings, already has a shaft to drive the prop, and the naval version already has folding rotors. I like it !

[Tophe]

I like it !

Ahem, my feeling is very different: I LOVE it!

[steelpillow]

How I would love to take that down to the beach and beat up on all those pretty little land yachts!

I like this new direction Eric but to me these seem a little sad and forlorn - as if they were missing their wings.

[ericr]

thanks all

well, aero-sleds and -cars with wings would be ... aero-planes

and be assured that their wings (fixed or rotating) have anpther life of their own, somewhere ... 

[ericr]

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)

These are Super Cool Feels like something You'd see in the Pages of The SHADOW comic Book or from an Issue of Blackhawks Comicbook! Keep up the Superb Work Dan

You are so right.  The Seamew especially looks like it's straight out of the pages of The Trigan Empire.

[Captain Canada]

The Seamew is pretty funky ! Always loved that nose shape, and it looks great as a car...in red !
