biakalblaster Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I am attempting to make a spinning wings pigeon flapper decoy - like the air-pro / pro-air one as the pigeon body is identical to the static pecking decoys i have, so far have made an outer axle tube from copper pipe, now got a stainless steel hollow axle, and made slots in each end, so far have tried making curved wings for various plastic pots, but too much weight/friction in the system as it takes a far bit of wind to spin the wings, so i will have to continue experimenting to reduce weight/drag different wing designs has anyone else tried making these? , as £50 for 2 online is a bit pricey, considering I got the 8 decoys that form the base of them, for £15 or so so decoy body is less than £2 ! also using an old shogun back windscreen wiper motoer assembly to drive a flapping wing decoy, but its a bit slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
