I Want One
« on: June 01, 2013, 05:33:35 AM »
Someone sent me a link to this video today.

[ Invalid YouTube link ]

Probably not strictly MadModding but some very neat engineering involved.

Enjoy.

Fascinating, Phil. What will we see next? I could do with a radio-controlled dog to keep the cats out of the garden.

I have a small P-47 model I fly at home that often attracts hawks, requiring some pretty extreme evasive maneuvers. I live on the edge of a forest. The hawks usually give up when they see a few loops and rolls as these aren't natural moves and maybe because a P-47 doesn't exactly look like a bird close up.

But I can just imagine what would happen with one of those. A hawk on a limb ripping out patented gearboxes, steering mechanisms, and sophisticated 2.4 ghz receivers looking for meat!   :lol:
I love it when a Plan B comes together!
