Apart from the low cost and wide availability of components, there must be some scope for this. (http://web.orange.co.uk/article/news/cat_flap_dead_pet_turned_into_helicopter) ;)

By a curious coincidence, said device appears to have identical payload and performance figures to Wildcat...

Perhaps they can convert the Artist to a Submarine, one would imagine some chains around the ankles will do the trick.

Cat and trap, perhaps?
Though it may have to be the other way round if you want to bolster the fleet.

Perhaps the look on it's face is indicative of where they shoved the batteries.

Finally - the 102nd use for a dead cat!

Environmentally friendly - it's a cat convertor.

However, if it goes into a vortex ring state, stand back! :eek:

This perpetual antigravity cat needs looking into, therefore they have started scanning them to see if there is any truth to the idea, you have all heard of erm Catscans, well here is the alternate version

If they have the RC technology to loft a dead cat, where is this going? Pedigree animal airborne dogfights? Flying the deceased family member out to sea and cutting the power? Jet pachyderm? The mind boggles......

Just had a thought arm flying kitty and get ready to get revenge on said driver who knocked it down. :)

The drivers would be well freaked out to see this swooping out of the sky :) :ok:
