Seeing as the evil buggers won`t leave me alone, they

That is an excellent idea. |
|
| |
I wonder if it would be possible to make very small
model aircraft, powered by gluing bluebottles to the
tiny engine-mounts? |
|
| |
I could of sworn this idea was posted by [xenzag]. |
|
| |
But no! And having some difficulty getting Biggles's moustache to stay on...hold still damn you.. |
|
| |
G-suits, with the pressure limiter disconnected ... listen to their tiny limbs cracking and crunching ... lovely. |
|
| |
But seriously, aerogel could be a bit handy in the human vs mosquito air battle re-enactment field.. |
|
| |
Aerogel could be shot out of the blank firing model 88 to provide a reasonable facsimile of them flak bursts...using proximity fusing is not the act of a sportsman or gentleman |
|
| |
It could be collected up later with a butterfly net and re-used... |
|
| |
To quote many an actor, and some of the persons I've played tabletop roleplaying games with, "what's my motivation?" |
|
| |
At rest, they do look a lot like early aeroplanes - but their motion is quite different, and would tend to ruin the effect I'm afraid. [] |

// Aerogel could be shot out of the blank firing model 88 // |
|
| |
If it shoots something from the muzzle, other than a wad, it's by
definition not "blank firing". |
|
| |
// using proximity fusing is not the act of a sportsman or
gentleman // |
|
| |
No, it's the act of someone who loathes and detests mosquitoes
and other bloodsuckers and disease vectors. Chemical warfare
using nerve agents isn't exactly sporting either but it's a damned
effective way of dealing with flying insects. |
|
| |
Added two more prior arts links, why should everyone else have the fun... |
|
| |
For aviation safety reason, you should also include
light beacons, so you can avoid in air collision with
mosquitoes. |
|
| |
It is kind of tricky get LED lights that small, and not
sure if the CAA regs really cover this... |
|
| |
Closest I can get is if a large mosquito drones
enough, it might be covered by Crimes against Music
Act, subsection 14.2 Bagpipes, of 1892. |
