Re: The flying goose
Good lookin' goose Lenn. Just don't let 6ptsika get that 8 gauge aimed at it. I've got a couple of sets of those blades that I just couldn't throw out. Now I know what to do with them.

Re: The flying goose
I like that one a lot Lenn -- well done!
If my wife sees it, I'll be following your expert lead and making a crappier (I'm sure...) version...

Re: The flying goose
Pretty darn cool, thanks for posting it, it gives some of us great ideas.
Re: The flying goose
Thanks fellers, Merle there hasn`t been enough wind to turn a blade but might be after while looks like a storm is on the way.
I`ll leave it out for a while and see if the wind comes up but then i`m putting it in the shop.

Re: The flying goose
2 weeks ago, I visited my Parents out in Liberal, KS. That Monday and Tuesday the wind averaged 40 miles per hour, with gusts up to 55. That might be a little more than needed to make that whirlygig work.

Just loving it, Lenn.
Re: The flying goose
It did damage roofs and knock down trees and limbs all over. The temperatures were in the upper 40s to low 50s those 2 days. That town was the geographic center of the dust bowl.
