Ahhh the days of watching geese happily honking whilst flying south.
We have remote/radio controlled boats,aeroplanes,cars,helicopters and even submarines.
The RC goose comes complete with flying hat and goggles, it is a exact replica model flying goose with its flightpath controlled by you
as it flaps its way a little bit south.
You'd probably have to put a propeller up front ,but at least you get to fly a goose.

Aahh[bris] your link suggests shooting them,i don't want to do that to geese, just fly one. |

Perhaps, but it is an RC Goose, after all. <posted back when the title was still "RC Goose"> |

A few years ago, some scientists built a remarkably successful gliding R/C Pterodactyl. I don't see why you can't make a goose, but you'd probably have to use some exotic lightweight composites. |

Nice link, [Bristolz]. I wonder if those things can mount any sort of armament ? |

These folks can help. [link] |

[skinflaps], by chance would you name it... Spruce? =) |
|

If you made a model swan with a very long beak you could call it Conk-orde ? |
|
|
If they can make RC cockroaches out of living roaches with electroshock, why not with geese? |
