dead-eye-dick Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 Hi chewy, and welcome to the site, you can buy floaters in your local gun-shop or if your in 'blue peter' mode you can make them from straightend coat hangers, If you make a cradle and wing supports in one end and dig the other end in the ground they are quite effective, hope this helps.

Steve Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 Hi Chewy. If you decide to make a whirly with a wiper motor, remember to wire in a dimmer switch or something so you can control the speed. If you don't, it'll end up going round like a bloody helicopter!! :laugh: PS - You do realise we'll only be gentle for your first few posts .

Cranfield Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 chewy, welcome to the forum. If you are a handyman type, then the best bet is, go to your local Gun Shop and have a good look at their floaters. Don,t forget to take a tape measure, pencil and paper. If you write quickly, you will get it all down before they throw you out. The rotary device is far too complicated for me. I bought mine/ They are available at around £100 or less now.
