totally cool. I have an old ceiling fan in the garage that I haven't mounted up yet. Might try to steal that idea...

Completely awesome. If I ever have a true "man cave", I'm so getting one.

There's an airplane themed restaurant in my town that has these on the ceiling. Way cool.

What you need then, is someone to come in and paint the ceiling like the rest of the plane, and a dog fight going on in the background.

Meh, no Spitfire.

Why does the Corsair only have a two-blade, fixed pitch propeller?

Probably because someone just painted the Sopwith Camel one to look like a Corsair.

yeah, if it were modeled on a real Corsair it would be twice as big around as the P-51 and instantly suck you into the ceiling or the ceiling into the floor when turned on. Plus the wings would fold up.

You mean the Sopwich camel?

Last time I checked, the P40 was called the Warhawk or Kittyhawk depending on who's flying it.

Ooo, ooo; find a crashed plane and bolt the leading edge of the wings across the ceiling!

These are from a Blanik L-13 which has been grounded all across America, cheap. The whole fleet is grounded.

Cool fans.

There was a steel company here in town that owner, owned the engine, cowl and propeller off of a Corsair. It was all assembled and mounted on a huge trailer, complete with fuel tank and controls.

On really hot days, the owner would park the trailer in one end of the building and fire it off. At idle it created a 30 MPH wind that would blow from one end to the other of a 400' building. It was very cool to stop by and watch it run.

I went to an airshow at Sikorsky Airport a few years ago. They had a few Corsairs flyover and had an engine mounted to a frame on a trailer. Every hour they would fire up the engine. That's one seriously beautiful engine.

It would also drip flaming blobs of oil on your carpet, and no one wants that.

I wouldn't say no one

They've sold these for many years. I wanted one so bad when I was a kid.

Well I AM an adult now.

Are not.

Are too!
