Dej 17 Posted March 21, 2009 I've just told my daughter and my sons, 21, 19 and 18 respectively, that I'd like my grandchildren sooner rather than later because I'm planning on staging pedal plane dogfights on the lawn. Really good spot WF2, I enjoyed that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted March 21, 2009 Yes, and I want an Albatros! We could then pedal with'em on the Steuben parade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Todt Von Oben 0 Posted March 22, 2009 I watched it with the sound off, so if there was an explanation of how this pedalplane came to be, I missed it. That said, my first reaction was that some lucky kid, somewhere, has a very loving father who is also very handy with tools. My wife (the practical one in the family) opined that the DR1 pedalplane would be something that someone could make a good deal of money producing and selling. I just think it's really neat. Thanks for sharing! Prost! TvO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted March 22, 2009 Yes, and I want an Albatros! We could then pedal with'em on the Steuben parade. Albatross, Camel, DR1 or DVII, SE5. Sorted. That's one grandchild each and one of 'em will have twins. Time to put my foot down! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OvS 8 Posted March 22, 2009 My little boy would absolutely love that! Thanks for sharing that WF2. CJ Jeeze... imagine putting kids in these things and letting them have IMAGINATIONS again!!! Like we did playing 'War' back in the day. I remember storming the German bunkers (tool shed) and taking out the Flak 88's (over-turned wheel barrel with painted pvc pipe)! :yes: Dump the Wii's, the PS3's, and XBox360's... get 'em a fully kid-functional Dr.1!!!

Gous 0 Posted March 22, 2009 I want it!!! That little brat having all the fun... Oh I remember like 8 years ago...during holidays, where all the buddies from the neighbourhood would gather up.. we were playing with fake metal guns and "shooting" each other (yelling "BANG" "BANG" and stuff like that). I dunno how the heck we would decide if someone was dead or not but it was fun. One day a "grown-up" (hehe ) asked us where we would find all that ammunition to shoot for so many hours. We turned the streets there into a small Sarajevo..! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
