As I said in my recent post, rarely do you see these metal birds in the sky in my neighborhood, when that happens the children have parties. So my first day of the weekend was spent making a simple helicopter for the little guys around me. Normally on weekends, since the quarantine, I dedicate it to recycling, since I live in a remote area of the country and for now it is the most fun I can do, XD

That's a cool looking helicopter you've made there! What is the main part of it made of! That greyish round thing?
I love helicopters, such incredible engineering. We had one hovering over the gun range today actually, very low too; It was checking power lines.
It's nice of you to make them for the little tackers. Nice work!
I hope you have a good weekend and am glad you dropped in on the #weekend-engagement topic this week. ✅
!ENGAGE 25
Hello, thank you for your kindness, the main sphere is the fruit of the totumo, perhaps you know it, our ancestors made all kinds of food utensils with this material. I put a small motor with rechargeable batteries to turn the main propeller.
Oh wow! It's made of a fruit and has an engine? This is bloody awesome! Now you've gone and done if, I want one. 🤣
hahaha if the aircraft is stranded the crew will have enough food while the rescue arrives🤣
Edible helicopter...Great survival equipment.
Holy Cow! Helicopters seem to fall down with some frequency, imagine how much more safe a tomato splatting rather than metal breaking!
Seriously. That is a very cool adaptation. I salute you!
It's cool right? Talk about ingenuity.
If I was in a helo about to crash I would hope it was made from a tomato.
ENGAGEtokens.Now that's cool. Good on you for making it AND for sharing it.
We have lots of helicopters here. Some that look sorta like that one that ICE and Border Patrol fly around here with great frequency. We also have quite a little Marine traffic from the base here (I actually live in the shadow of the bombing range-jets can break the sound barrier here and nobody can complain) all the way up to Sea Stallions. A big Helo that can carry a lot of Marines.
There are also several that are dedicated to ag spraying. They mostly fly at night, though.
Hi, that sounds good, thanks for adding on the topic of helicopters, it must be a lot of fun to get used to seeing the Jets flying overhead, on one occasion, I think that in 2012, two Jets passed and the whole neighborhood was alarmed thinking that it was the third world war hahaha
I really like the military traffic we have here. In the past this was a Harrier base now it's a FA-35 base and transport. One wing stationed here flys the F-16 fighter and the other flys the FA-35. I can tell the difference by the sound.
There are also V-22 Osprey here. Those are impressive aircraft. Vertical lift and horizontal flight. This is also a test base. The Osprey did all it's testing here as did the F-35. We, the public, doesn't even know what they are testing much of the time... I walk in the south desert often, and I occasionally see aircraft I can't identify taking the corridor from the base to the bombing range.
It is a very interesting area, also somewhat dangerous but I hope that luck always smiles on you and you enjoy the desert and the parades of the metallic eagles. XD
I didn't see a one on our morning walk which is sort of strange considering there is a big maneuver planned next week. An annual thing, it isn't as big as normal due to Covid but it's a system wide test and check session.
This is a very original and crreative craft, man. Congratulations. I knew we could weaponize the taparas!
Hahaha thank you very much, the covers float in the water, if the propellers are knocked down, there is hope in the ocean.
Absolutely. hahaha
Very resourceful vehicle. That was a very clever thing you did there man.
Thanks so much Brother
Haha, weaponised vegetable helicopters sound pretty good. If one is in the middle of battle and gets hungry...Just take a bite!
Sweet ride.
Welcome :)
Impresionante! Que creatividad. Hubiera matado por un juguete así jajaja. Felicitaciones.
Jajaja muchas gracias, en mi infancia habían muchos juguetes reciclados porque no había dinero para comprar los drones de aquella época. XD
