Will I need a type rating for this?

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





A bit sick but my black sense of humour did make me laugh out loud...

Hmm lets paws for thought here

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?

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?

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.
