If so will it be tabby, ginger or tortoiseshell on my licence?

Hmm lets paws for thought here :D:cool:

I take it there's some sort of claws within EASA or FAA, that says it can be operated in restricted airspace i.e one's garden, back yard, front garden, yard, private land.

A friend posted the link onto my FB wall and blamed me for this :) She said all she wanted to do was to hold and stroke said feline in its last moments :)

My response was its enviromentally friendly (using biodegradable fuel such as Whiskas) and that the little one had a new lease of life. Well isn't that where aviation started from the ground up all those centuries ago? :cool::p:ok:

I hope the owner has CS27 to hand or at least holds a Part 21G and J approval for the mod :)

And since he's Dutch wouldn't the National Research Laboratory want a swing at this? :D:sad::8:p:mad:

Boy, does that motor purr! I've heard its performance is good, not doggy at all! Anyway, I'd be afraid to fly it; with me at the controls it would only be a whisker away from crashing.
