Prairie Chicken Air Sacks?

Submitted by CCT on 8/6/05 at 10:56 PM. ( ) 205.188.116.7

Was wondering if McKenzie's air sacks are any good. This will be my first time working with the air sacks and eye combs. Any suggestions on the mounting process would be a big help. I've got 13 yrs. exp. just was wondering if there are any good tips on this subject.

In response to your question about PC air sacs and eye combs from McKenzie. I have used both of them several times. I cut out the birds tymphonics membranes and then just insert the air sac under the neck material. You can super glue the skin edge to the foam air sac around the edge. Eye combs must be trimmed to fit. You can then super glue about the eyes. You can paint both air sacs and eye combs ahead of time. All my PC's turned out great.
