It's an electrical motorglider in the shape of a winged Jesus Christ, the vertical mast being the keel and the horizontal forming the cross bar. Leading edges wil be added from the top of the vertical mast to the ends of the horizontal and well beyond, creating a kinda hanglider frame. The sail goes
from the leading edges to the vertical mast, same as in the hang glider. The propeller goes on top of the mast, right over the "INRI" sign. Leading edge and sail made of clear plastic. Jesus will be flying prone, suspended from hands and feet. Very good for aerodynamics and perfect visibility. Hope He has a good time, too, it's well enough time. The thingamaging, radiocontrolled, could be used on the Semana Santa Procesiones, overflying the Virgin Mary of the Perpetual Motion floats, lending an even more festive air to the proceedings. An escort of flapping wing radiocontrolled angels and cherubs could fly in close formation, while a cloud shaped blimp broadcasts thundering sounds and lightning.
Perhaps I will make one...

Reminds me of the Miracle of the Floating Fibreglass Jesus - got to find a link, let's see now... |
|
| |
I don't think Jesus has wings, yo. |
|
| |
(Mach) No, your standard Jesus hasn't got wings, that's what makes mine patentable. |
|
| |
What's the point, exactly? What does this do? |
|
| |
(contracts) It doesn't do much, really, just flies around
having a good time and scaring the sparrows. |
|
| |
Awww, what happened to that Bible verse "His eye is on the sparrow?" I don't think it meant he scares them away. Poor birdies. |
|

My wife still talks about the plastic glow-in-the-dark Jesus her best friend had when they were little. So maybe this would have the desired impact. If only on impressionable little children. |
|
| |
[Dr. Curry] wasn't that a part of a Dylan song? |
|
| |
'To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark |
|
| |
It's easy to see without looking too far |
|
| |
That not much
Is really sacred.' |
|
| |
By the way, I think this is now going to be my favorite explicative. Say it in an angry way "INFLATIBLE FLYING JESUS CHRIST!" Oh I'm sure to have bad things happen to me for another few months for that, but It sure feels good to say it. |
|
| |
I think this is a great idea. |
|
| |
XD
Okay, what is the 'H' in Jesus H. Christ supposed to be, anyway? |
|
| |
Nope, still like the cherry filled ones... |
|
| |
[hippo] that German inflatable Jesus seems to be pretty happy to be up there... |
|
| |
Cherry filled Jesus bonbons? |
|
| |
I don't care if it rains or freezes
s'long as I've got my plastic Jesus
sitting on the dashboard of my car
He smiles at me all calm and pleasant
He glows in the dark 'cuz he's phosphorescent
sitting on the dashboard of my car. |

Nice link [jurist]. I notice that the balloon is in no way ironic or a joke of any form. This lot are seriously trying to spread The Word using a huge Jesus hot air balloon. Takes all sorts... |
|
| |
A giant inflatable flying buddy-Jesus (a la Dogma) would be an impressive sight over London, I can see it floating by the London Eye already.... :) |
|
| |
(ghillie): Don't pay any attention to misleading explanations, it stands for "Jesus Halfbaker Christ". |
|
| |
And I vote that we change patronship of the HB from the Perpetual Motion Virgin Mary to the Inflatable Flying Jesus H. Christ. |
|
| |
I think Jesus would look better on a kite. It has the cross ready for him. |
|
| |
(World) : But that's x-actly the idea, a kite, if you read carefully, only it was all Confucious. A Hanglider-like kite. I justa made one and it flies very badly. Too heavy and the Jesus cracked on landing (ceramic). But the cross withstood the flight charges well.
(Wasted) : Perhaps I shoulda kinda draw it. |

Can there be an inflatable flying buddha eating an inflatable flying spaghetti monster too? |
|
| |
Three cases of apparent link-rot above. |
|
| |
An Inflatable Jesus and a Buddha balloon that would be great
in the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. Between the two you
put the "Religions of all the people of the world" float with
the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing on it. |
|
| |
[UB] Good point. To do it right maybe we need a few more
floats and a few more balloons, a few tambourines and
multiple collection baskets. |
