One of our club members came out yesterday with an old Dirty Birdy that he pulled out of storage and breathed new life into. This was no straight restoration. He hacked and chopped on it, added parts from five other planes, put a 20cc DLE gas engine on it and has built a 3D Dirty Birdy. You read that right, a 3D-DB (extra credit if you get the reference).

Heres a couple of shots of it sitting next to my DB for comparision.

Dave

Does he have throttle hold and idle up controls on his radio...?

David.

OH NOOOOO, A 3D DIRTY BIRDY! [X(]

The guy that did this should be thrown in Classic Pattern Prison for life! And a TAIL DRAGGER to boot! I'm gonna have nightmares for six months! Might even have to start seeing a therapist!

I threw up in my mouth... Thanks Dave. [:'(]

I crapped my pants!

It's ummm...."different"!

3D DB...was that Mr. Whoopie's 3 dimensional drawing board, that he used when he had to explain something to Tennesee Tuxedo and Chumley? (or was that 3D BB? )

He could've bought a U Can Do.
Heinous.

Chris...

Have you no shame?

James

DB isn't meant for 3D. I like the tail dragger, tho. That is a plus!

how is a taildragger a plus?

I knew you guys would love this.

And the bonus points go to Proptop for the 3DBB reference.

Dave

Gotta love youtube...[8D]

Don't see educational cartoons like that any more...

Tennessee Tuxedo and Chumley- now THAT is classic.
The "3D" Dirty Birdy, well that's just wrong. Very wrong.

What a disgrace...

Shoot it and put it out of its misery.

A 3D Dirty Birdy, HMMMMMMM, it is so wrong that it is right!

I know we all have to do our bit when it comes to recycling, but.......

That's what happens to pattern ships that vacation at Chernobyl... As long as it doesn't reproduce

Fortunately for us, if it's been in Chernobyl it's probably sterile!

Good one Ralph. we definitely want that one sterile.

Ah, Is no comment a comment?

I want the old school canopy off of that disgrace, LOL

It's like jacking up the back end of a Ferarri for drag slicks...

I'll bet it would still qualify for an SPA event though...[sm=bananahead.gif]

Sorry, I'm first in line.

When we set them up for the picture he said "Hey, mine has a different canopy." I said "No, mine has a different canopy!"

Dave

Sure is one Ugly Dirty Birdy. How well does it fly with the DLE 20 engine?
