Here is another try at what my Exchange is..... Had to post picture separate from the description??




                                                               HUNT THE WIND…


              Knowing the wind is critical to hunting success.  Hunt the wind with “The Airplane”.

                               
                   
                                                            (picture should be here) :-[

                                     
                                   
                                   “The Airplane” is almost but not quite like the “Firefly”.

The entire design was copied from an old weathervane made close to 100 years ago. Using NO advanced flow analysis and the result is a fairly accurate, kind of sensitive, wind detection device a hunter can trade for.

“The Airplane” is not a sophisticated instrument.  And is NOT designed using any of the latest technology.  It’s suggested retail is not $59.95.

For low wind conditions you may have to stick your finger in your mouth to wet it and hold your finger up and feel which is the cool side…..the cool side indicates which side the wind is coming from.

Also included is a pod of milkweed that is “Ultra” sensitive to low wind and even thermals when hunting from a stand.  Just pull a small tuft of silky seed material from the pod and release and watch.

Hope all of this helps you “HUNT THE WIND”.

Elktracker,   Yes, I totally made it. 

 The retail price part is just a spoof of the "Firefly" wind detector!! >:D

  I was working on a job and the customer had the original hanging on his wall and I copied it...with his permission.  He thought something like his dad's uncle...or some relative had made the original.

I would love to see that thing in my yard here on the beach in a good 80 100 mph wind >:D I would probably have to tie it down or it would take off lol. Great job and great work!
