I do want to get one of those bird planes, and then paint it like a turkey vulture. They're not even expensive! Kewl, huh? Harass the birds over the aerodrome!

I'll bet that 60 inch bird flies great!

It DOES. They've got a movie clip of it. Are you going to buy one?

Are they prop-driven? I watched the video and it sounds like a motor every once in a while. And it looks like the are displaying them with props off, it looks like a shaft in the nose. Huh?   |

Yes. They have electric motors and props in the nose.

That's cool. Reminds me of the rubberband-powered Ornithopters I used to play with as a kid. A robotic bird, excellent. That gear inside better not be made of plastic though, because that's a lot of stress on it, but I'll bet it is. Strange that the guy didn't actually fly it in his video.
