Indeed, the mod's can fix it - we are Jedi Knights, didn't you know?  Bob, you needed to choose the "IMG Code" selection from the Photobucket pull-down... and the copy and paste that link into your postings here in the forum. We don't generally use HTML to post pics in this forum. |

"Pedal Planes" - plans are available to make a "kiddie-car" pedal toy that looks like, f'rinstance, a Pitts biplane. I bought the plans at the Oshkosh show, years past, but lacked the woodworking skills to make a "pedal Pitts" for my cousin's daughter.

. Floor space is full 8' with space under cockpit like . Cockpit a little less than 2' , main cabin a little more than 6'. Hand rails and cleats cut from teak boards.Windows 1/4" polycarbonate with a leftover piece cut into an anchor shape and has lead weights from a broken pool cleaner attached to it. Keel holds about 200lbs of batteries and lead sheet left over from lining an xray room. Glue was one part urethane (Gorrila Grip kind).Didn't use fiberglass in house but covered the bottom to waterline with polyester cloth with epoxy. No itching when sanding. Took one month of nights and weekends to finish in Dec for Christmas present although kids were involved in sanding and painting. Cut large pieces in workshop but assembled it inside the house in the playroom (had double doors leading to outside) but wife didn't like the smells, but too cold to work outside in Dec. I once rebuilt a Triumph 650 in my living room but was when I was single, now resigned to the playroom and even that is in jeapardy. Put a small porta pottie in cockpit so kids don't have to climb off when sleeping on it. I think more people should have boats for their kids in their pools. First pool boat I ever made was small red row boat that the kids enjoyed a lot but wanted one with a cabin so they could sleep on it over night. Kids transition from their pools boats to larger ones easily and feel right at home and confident on big ones. Also allows use of pool year round.

This "Mini Mac" is way cooler because it actually FLOATS!
and since there is a 'trolling motor' on the mini-mac I was thinking more along the lines of no mini planes with motor and spinning prop. Rob
