I was wondering how you got him home after being filled. I was picturing him tied to the back of your scooter floating home

He seems so big I was even wondering how he fit into a car?

I'm glad he made it and he does seem very cool.

Let's just say that if you own a small car... You will be in trouble

Just think a real one can reach four times that size... Four cars side by side!

Oh I love that image of him following IMR home tied to the scooter!!

I can just imagine the look on the other motorists faces as Bruce and scooter shoot by.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #29 on:** September 23, 2011, 03:43:37 PM »

Lol, it would turn heads

Maybe I will get to take him to school that way

If I find a school

So far I've had a resounding 'no' so far as organizing my next placement goes

If you do try this trick I believe a photo would be in order!

I hope you find a school soon. I guess they just don't know what a great asset of a teacher they are missing out on.

Keep your chin up and keep trying. One of them will have to say yes.

Agree with Kat - how very shortsighted of them!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #32 on:** September 25, 2011, 03:22:45 AM »

After four days Bruce is now floating with just the putty he came with, I've been able to remove the extra weight I added. Still flying no worries though, I think I will give it a few more days until I have to remove all the putty to keep him flying and then have him topped up

kat · « **Reply #33 on:** September 25, 2011, 03:51:09 AM »

He seems to be holding up well

I'm glad he's still floating. It will be interesting to see how long it takes before you need to top him up. Is he still fun?

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #34 on:** September 25, 2011, 04:34:00 AM »

I smile every time I see him

Hehe he has a habit of floating down the hall and into my dads bedroom though

I fly him around for few minutes here and there as a nice diversion from studying

Crewella · « **Reply #35 on:** September 25, 2011, 08:34:30 AM »

It's good to know he's still going strong! Glad he's still making you smile, too!

mweed · « **Reply #36 on:** September 25, 2011, 02:14:28 PM »

My concern is with him being so big, how hard is it to maneuver around in small rooms. Seems like you really need a big space to enjoy him.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #37 on:** September 25, 2011, 03:28:22 PM »

While space would be an added bonus he does pretty well in my tiny bedroom, he can turn on the spot if you flap the tail just right and now that I've improved my flying skills I can get him to zoom around my room at top speed and also around the house. Nowhere is safe lol.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #38 on:** September 26, 2011, 04:00:15 AM »

When grown ups get bored lol. Poor Bruce's batteries were almost flat so he wasn't flying too well. Helium is still holding up however

Just when you thought it was safe ....... to get OUT of the water!!

Great fun! Loved it!

kat · « **Reply #40 on:** September 26, 2011, 07:35:47 AM »

Looks like you really are having lots of fun with him.

very cool movie.

What a great job! Loved when Bruce's tail kept in time with the beat.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #42 on:** September 29, 2011, 07:06:54 PM »

Lol that was a happy coincidence

I'm not very rhythmic

I had Bruce topped up today, he was still flying fine but I have had to remove almost all the putty used to weigh him down. They didn't charge a thing to have him topped up. He is now back to using all the putty and even more Blue tack than before :O It is colder at the moment so the gas has contracted a bit

The lady at the shop said I could keep him afloat indefinitely just by topping him up every week or so, so that is nice to know

I have him floating at about head height, its kind of eerie when he swings around slowly to look at you

Must be weird if you've forgotten he's there!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #44 on:** October 10, 2011, 05:30:26 PM »

Just an update on Bruce, 19 days in and he is still flying high. I am not going to have him topped up again as I want to see just how long he'll stay up, I had to add a bit of air today to keep him fully inflated which was as simple as inserting a straw and blowing

fancyfont · « **Reply #45 on:** October 10, 2011, 05:38:34 PM »

Bruce, the airy shark!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #46 on:** October 10, 2011, 06:50:26 PM »

Lol yup

Airy scary shark

Lol, that's an interesting take on it

I've been eyeing this post for weeks and going, hmm. What sort of fish is this again? Today I finally decided to really look at it. I have to say it's not what I expected. Does he fly by remote control? How big is he?
