| You may be attracted to this fantastic ceiling fan creation, so you will be interested to know how the installation process proceeded. First of all, it will be a relief to know that this airplane ceiling fan just required to standard wiring and an approved electrical box which was installed onto a wood ceiling joist in this room. The mounting went pretty smooth once I understood how to attach a set of support wires for the large housing for the engine. Once that was clear then the installation went pretty smooth. The homeowner was completely thrilled with this addition to his recreation room which will get allot of complements from all of his guests. |

Choose a Designer Ceiling Fan: Airplane Ceiling Fan |
|
 |
The airplane ceiling fan came in a box labeled War Planes, and it looks like there are several airplanes styles to choose from - Very Cool! |
 |
Now I'm not an expert on airplane props but these fan blades have the appearance of the real airplane propellers. |
 |
Nicely packaged to protect the precious cargo, um - airplane ceiling fan assembly parts that is! |
 |
Very straight forward, normal ceiling fan hardware with just a few different procedures, but no problem! |
 |
The ceiling fan base canopy was larger so the airplane housing would attach similar to a hugger ceiling fan, only larger. |
 |
Pre-flight check of all the wiring and hardware. |
 |
Double checked the flaps, rudder and ailerons, I think were about ready to fly this bird! |
 |
Filed a flight plan with the tower, now we're ready to Soar! Go to the next page to see this bird in flight! |

The Safest Way to Test Electrical Devices and Identify Electric Wires!The Non-Contact Electrical TesterThis is a testing tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and is the first test tool I grab to help identify electrical wiring. It is a Non-contact tester that I use to easily Detect Voltage in Cables, Cords, Circuit Breakers, Lighting Fixtures, Switches, Outlets and Wires. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test. Very handy and easy to use.
The Quickest Way to Check for Faulty Electrical Wiring!The Plug-In Outlet TesterThis is the first tool I grab to troubleshoot a problem with outlet circuit wiring. This popular tester is also used by most inspectors to test for power and check the polarity of circuit wiring. It detects probable improper wiring conditions in standard 110-125 VAC outlets Provides 6 probable wiring conditions that are quick and easy to read for ultimate efficiency Lights indicate if wiring is correct and indicator light chart is included Tests standard 3-wire outlets UL Listed Light indicates if wiring is incorrect Very handy and easy to use.
Strip Off Wire Insulation without Nicking and Damaging the Electric Wire!The Wire Stripper and Wire CutterMy absolute favorite wire stripping tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and this is the tool I use to safely strip electrical wires. This handy tool has multiple uses: The wire gauges are shown on the side of the tool so you know which slot to use for stripping insulation. The end of the tool can be used to grip and bend wire which is handy for attaching wire onto the screw terminals of switches and outlets.. The wire stripper will work on both solid and stranded wire. This tool is Very Handy and Easy to Use. |
