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.

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 ?-- 8th of 7, Dec 06 2002 [8th of 7] ?-- skinflaps, Dec 06 2002 These folks can help.

Spruce? =)-- Pharaoh Mobius, Dec 06 2002 If you made a model swan with a very long beak you could call it Conk-orde ?-- 8th of 7, Dec 06 2002 If they can make RC cockroaches out of living roaches with electroshock, why not with geese?-- notme, Dec 06 2002 random, halfbakery
