Wind spinner aircraft faithful reproduction of Douglas DC-3 Dakota

Aircraft wind vane model Douglas DC-3 Dakota, garden decoration and collectible.

Aircraft history:
The Douglas DC-3 was a twin-engine, low-wing airliner developed by the American Douglas Aircraft Company in the 1930s. Intended for commercial traffic on short and medium range routes, it met with the favor of airlines and enjoyed considerable commercial success; Douglas also sold the licensed production rights both in the Soviet Union, where it was built as the Lisunov Li-2, and in Japan under the name LD2. Following the entry of the United States into World War II, a military transport version was developed, the C-47 Dakota/Skytrain, which was used until the end of the conflict. Although production of the DC-3 ended some time ago, there are still numerous examples in flying condition and used in various parts of the world, including some conversions equipped with turboprop engines.

Our History:
“Air Hunter” small objects made to beautify the garden, but which are actually real wind turbines. Entirely built in Italy with first choice materials, our products are made of steel and aluminum. The integrated ball bearings ensure a smooth prop rotation even with light breezes (360 ° swivel). Another special feature is the coloring of the surfaces. Each single print is in fact finished by hand, creating vintage shades and retouches that make it unique and unrepeatable. Air Hunter is assembled manually and with attention to detail. We supply the product already assembled, only the propeller and the aluminum shaft remain to be assembled. To put the windmill into operation, simply drive the support rod into the ground or attach it to the balcony railing with the supplied zip-ties, the wind will do the rest. To obtain maximum performance, it is advisable to position the support as perpendicular as possible to the ground itself, possibly with the aid of a level. The product is made to withstand bad weather such as intense rain and wind. It is not recommended to use it in saline environments which could compromise its performance. 
When you look at our products close your eyes for a moment and imagine that they are designed, painted, assembled and packed in our family ranch, a small wooden house hidden among the trees and smelling of pine. Our air hunters are not simple wind indicators, but collectibles that will give an original touch to your garden.
