WACKY RIGGING SUBJECTS

[Radish]

I suggested Martin's all-white RAF B-52 in 1/72nd would look stunning rigged.
He wasn't compliant though.

What about rigging something that wasn't?

I'd suggested the Fokker D.VII earlier, which the JMNs would spot, but other things to consider MIGHT be helicopters?
Anyone seen a rigged helicopter?
Thinking Chinook.

I think a Wellington should be rigged. Especially if you attach another wing and make it a biplane. Oh and it has to have spats!

Did I mention that I love spats?

RIg the rotors like some of the early autogyro rotors?  Or dare I suggest biplane rotors?

[Radish]

Biplane rotors, like a Kamov but going the same way? Sounds good to me.

Actually, I was thinking more of some of the early helicopter attempts where the rotors were biplane wings, complete with struts and rigging.  *snicker* Imagine closely spaced blades with I-struts at root and tip and rigging in between - on all positions of both Ch-47 rotors.

Any early monoplanes, of course.

How about a modern ship with auxiliary sails? They could be used for fuel conservation in this day of high oil prices. The Cousteau Society have a ship like this, though it uses rotor sails instead of traditional canvas.
