2X4's and black birds work much better.

By the time I caught the 2nd fly, I'd be thinking "there has to be a better way. Oh, heck. I'll just go fly some AH for an hour."

Great idea. Bit hard on the flies though. Have to wait until summer. I haven't seen a fly for months. Imagine how it would work with a couple of Hornets attached. Man, that would be plane with a sting in it's tail. Catching and fixing them would be scary though

One thought, like any multi engine aircraft what if an engine or two failed. It could be very messy.

Imagine a squadron of them released into a classroom or office. The possibities are endless.

Gotta agree with you on that one..

Tie strings to the planes and move your bomber formation awayfrom the single engined fighters..

OMFG!

What is wrong with you people? What happens to these flies when you're done torturing them? Leave them to die on the matchstick airplane, or worse - tear their legs off?! Next you'll be shooting prarie gophers and enjoying infra-red carnage! You all make me sick.

why the freezer, what about a cloroform? make the bees easier to handle

Chairboy · « **Reply #13 on:** January 10, 2004, 12:54:58 PM »

What about using dragonfly for lift, and bees for speed? Combining the two, like the B-36, you might get a good combination.

If you want to do bees, you can extract them from a hive at night. They are much more docile when its dark...
