I hope they use spread spectrum technology. I also wonder if they can control if it craps on statues and such?

Yeah I saw that; cool yet kinda creepy at the same time. It would be sweet if you could get it to do loops, rolls, and other aerobatics. When the bird gets tired, just swoop down and eat from the neighbor's trash to refuel. Just think of the money you'd save on nitro and batteries....

There are some things that just shouldn't even be attempted.

But eventually, they would have to sleep, and our motors don't need no stinkin' sleep. And they will crap. At least with my nitro planes, all I have to do is clean up some glow drool. Glow fuel residue isn't bad on a sandwich either...pigeon crap on the other hand...and not the hand making my turkey and glow fuel residue sandwich...would be nasty.

You guys are looking at this the wrong way!

Just THINK of the possibilities here!!!

Pigeons are just the first step. Can you say, "Stepford Wives"?

"Oh honey, please do the laundry, wash the car, walk the dog, take out the garbage, dust, vaccuum, and get dinner ready.

I'll be down the basement"

If it's truly well designed then the anal orifice would also be under direct control of the operator. Imagine being able to plant a big wet one wherever you decided it belonged!! Gives new meaning to a fun fly "egg drop".
