Oil sucks, wind blows.

Here is a little project the wife and I have been working on for our grandson. His dad is in the army and is deployed. Devin ( My grandson ) Loves the army because of his dad. When I told him we were making him a wind mill, He had his own idea of what he wanted so we did the best we could to make it his way.The wife did the painting and wording. She made Devin a Capt. in the army air core.
The motor came out of a vcr. The led's used are from all types of old equipment.The blades are from a 5 Gallon buck. The bombs are close pins, wire nuts and pop sickle sticks. The rest is a coffee can, pvc pipe and plywood and other parts. I do not have a pitcher of it lit up while running but it works great. I put 6 led's on the tail in three places. One red led on each on the wing between the bombs to look like machine guns firing when running. Also one big white led on top behind the pilot. We plan to give it to him when his dad come home. That is just before Christmas.
Are you using the VCR's 'loading' motor or the head's drive motor?I love repurposing trash!
A video maybe?
Possibly your grandson would like to see this?http://www.fieldlines.com/story/2008/9/15/7829/04919
