Being an avid flyer of anything that's radio controlled, I am particularly in love with this bird! I saw it months ago, and have watched the video numerous times. They're working on a model that knows how to target cars with sh!+ bombs ;-) When they come out with that, I'm buying one and flying it next door to my neighbor's house. They've got a dog that barks 18 hours a day and refuse to do anything about it.

Wow... Awesome :D

I'm sure this technology (drone that looks like a bird) is already being used in military/spy applications.

Dave Kershaw is buying one and programming it to sh*t bomb his mother-in-law.

:lol: :lol: !
That might be the most practical application for it yet :D

I first saw it a few days back on a show about tech stuff. You should have seen the thing without the skin on it. There's just a couple of gears in the middle that runs the whole thing.
I love the veiw from behind it's head, looks just like when they put cameras on real birds on the nature shows
I just wonder though, if it says "flaps" on the transmitter, I guess that means literally? :D
