Fabrice, Head honcho
Because a mechanic is essential for maintaining these super little eco-friendly planes in tip-top shape, I accompany the Aerofab squadron wherever it lands. Bolting together, screwdrivers and spanners at the ready, my little multicoloured planes are pampered with plenty of polish to keep them shiny. I keep my little aviators, the human jet engines, and the crowd happy by telling fabulous and funny tales of adventure and travel, accompanied by my unique ukukazoulélé.

About the Aérofab !
Mummy, Daddy, how does it work ?
The Aerofab is a pedal-powered merry-go-round, handmade and original. It is composed of six little aeroplanes made of steel and wood. It caters especially for small children aged 1 to 8, and up to 1.3 metres in height …
Mummy, Daddy, how much is it ?

How did the Aérofab land up there ?
It took nearly two years for the first flight of the Aerofab. Hours of brainstorming, tons of scientific calculations …
The Aerofab is a pedal-powered merry-go-round, handmade and original. It is composed of six little aeroplanes made of steel and wood. It caters especially for small children aged 1 to 8, and up to 1.3 metres in height.
It is propelled by two bikes, ridden either by parents, or teens, and me. I supercharge every exciting flight with fantastic stories and funny songs, accompanied by my ukukazoulélé, which will entertain adults and kids alike.
My carousel is fully mobile on a standard-sized trailer. It is easy to position, needing a space of about 5 by 5 or 6 by 6 metres. It takes 45 minutes to install, and ta-da, we are in action. If the weather is temperamental, it could even be used inside, provided the access door is at least 2 metres wide.
Difficult to tell you immediately how much it will cost! It depends on a number of factors. For example, is it for an evening, an afternoon, a day, a weekend, or more? Is it far away? And many other small important details. The best is to chat about it, and I’ll be able to give you the perfect quote!
It took nearly two years for the first flight of the Aerofab. Hours of brainstorming, tons of scientific calculations, combined with lots of kind assistance from local companies for technical help and materials, went into this fabulous project.
