Looking for a fuselage

Consider what an aircraft looks like after being on tiedown for a year
without
being washed. I think you'd wind up with a filthy condo for starlings in
relatively short order. The prop will be easier to keep clean.

Especially if you attach a motor to it and leave it running all the time.

Gonna put a giant plastic owl on top of it?

He won't need one if he goes the motor route.

You've never been crow huntin' have you George? The plastic owl will
keep the starlings away, but the sky will grow dark with screamin',
crappin' crows.

We've got a right lower cowl skin for a 172 N. It has a dent which
was pounded out and is only slightly noticeable. It's airworthy but
the FBO bought us a new one because they forgot to tie down the other
airplane.

Just a few hundred more parts and you could have a whole 172!

Well, Dan, I suspect the kind of aircraft I'm looking for is NOT something
you'd be willing to hang yourself beneath at 5,000 feet!

I've seen full scale fiberglass Spits and ME109's for display purposes
online that would look real nice on a pole.

Jay,
How about a "Connie" ( Constellation ). Yep, the full size plane.
Used to be outside a BAR!!!! ( lounge ) in New Orleans. It was just
off the interstate, probably why it's no longer there. Probably caused
too many near-wrecks, involving mainly ME!!!!

Or a big propeller.

Now that our conversion to an aviation theme-suites hotel is almost
complete, we think it's time to make the *outside* of the place look more
aviation-ish. (We've only changed the inside, thus far.)

Anyone know where I can find an old Cessna 140 (for example) fuselage for
cheap that I could mount on a pole out front? Or a big ol' Convair
prop?
Something I could hoist up onto a 3-story sign, to catch the eye of
travelers?

Anyone got any better ideas? Whatever we do, it can't be unsafe, and it
shouldn't look too kitschy...

Thanks!

I think Slick meant www.MotoArt.com. Unfortunately Tim Roberts died
October 11, 2004, apparently of natural causes.

The others guys will probably help you out, though.

As others have suggested, I think that a more abstract artistic piece
will enhance the hotel more than a Cessna on a stick. That will likely
look dilapidated in short order.

The Supermall near Auburn, WA had an Ercoupe sans landing gear mounted on a
pylon. That was the coolest Ercoupe ever!
