grass doesn't grow under your shoes Mike, that's for sure.

why not wood for the wings?

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Talking

The pressure of the water constantly easing and pulling alternately causes stress cracks on the wings and where they meet the body. Plexi or better yet lexan is the way to go. I am putting large 3-d eye on my birds. Can't wait to see them in the water Mike!

Why even try.........

the wings pulled right off this morning. gorilla glue won't stick to the plexi glass.
i got some real thin plywood,, like 1/8 inch,, i think i'll try that next.
