View Full Version : New bug wiper system
Tom Kelley

Bugs only hang out within several hundred feet of the ground. So, new
system is designed to keep them off and then if you stay high, you
need not them high cost bug wipers which might fall off and damage
your wing.
Have your crew soak a roll of toilet paper, yep, and several minutes
before you tow off have, them run it along your leading edges. By the
time you reach release altitude it will have dryed and fallen off. No
bugs and just stay high for the rest of the day. The cheaper 2 ply
stuff might work better than the 4 ply stuff.

I don't know, Tom. I think bugs hang out in thermals too. It might
work if you can avoid flying in updrafts.
Have you tested this invention? Was this the key to winning the 18m
nationals last year?
Do you think that folks on the ground will not be concerned with used
toilet paper dropping from the sky? I suppose some will just think
it's more of the same from Air Force One passing overhead.

Nope, high tech, enviroment friendly, available for 15 USD per roll.
Shipping and handling 25 USD anywhere World. Send email if
interested. If used right, money back garanteed. One roll could last
entire summer, but 4 rolls surely will and will ship for same charge.

Since it's multi-purpose, I'll take 8 rolls. Thanks for the special
deal on shipping Tom.

I love your innovation! The only problem is, you know about me and
low saves... ;-P ...I'm obviously going to need a "multiple
deployment system".
So along with my shipment, can you include a couple of servos and some
wire? Where some people have "wiper garages" at their wing-roots, I'm
gonna have wooden dowels!! ;-)

Noel,
Do you want the "Wiper Garages" made so the paper on the roll comes
off the top, or off the bottom?
Don't you fly a DG of some flavor? Sorry about that price, but it
will be US$15 for the paper and Euro 245 for that other paper...

Too late. Bob K. has already reversed engineered the entire process
(bug wiper not ass wiper that is) and is chopping down trees in his

Hey Darryl,
Just got an email saying your bug wiper tests aren't going well.
Something about a loop in the line and well, neutering. Ouch.........
