This quadcopter is made from a taxidermied cat

Orville certainly isn't the first cat to fly, but he may be the first cat to do so under his own power.

[moose07]

It was his own cat!

No accounting for taste....

[goseminoles]

Yes. We will see that GIF often in the near future..

[RansomOttawa]

Flying dead cat + scared cows + Airwolf theme = awesome.

[TheOldLady]

It looks thick-furred and healthy. I suspect it gave its life for its owner’s hobby.

[moose07]

From what i can make-out he says it died of old age.
I do hope that is the case!

Exhibit A why the Dutch should stick to finance and cheese-making.

[TigersEye]

Nice shirt, Bart! Where can I get one like that?

[Dr.Zoidberg]

The Air Wolf theme music was a particularly nice touch.

I always suspected cats were from Hell, but now Heli-Cats?

Oh the nightmares can only become darker.

[Slings and Arrows]

I am unsurprised to find that the creator is German.

[Lurker]

This is the only reason I would ever donate my body to science. But I want arm mounted machine guns and a rear firing napalm cannon. Hot lead as I’m coming at you and flaming napalm death as I pull away.

[Lazamataz]

From what I understand, you already HAVE a rear-firing napalm cannon!

[ApplegateRanch]

"It's a flat-cat, Jim; but not as Heinlein described it ... and those cows will give sour milk for a week."

[Lurker]

True, but it’s not a remote controlled, AIRBORNE, rear-firing napalm cannon!

I gots to be turned into one of THOSE when my time on Earth is done.

[Slings and Arrows]

I suspect that The Admiral would be appalled. Not to mention Terry Pratchett.

[Stoat]

The cat is a nice start, but I sincerely hope that Our Troops are already flying  Yasser Arafat and Helen Thomas Hellfire-equipped drones.  Gotta bring the fear to the islamofascists.

[Delta 21]

Some of us have a few more spare parts than others. Whats the big deal?

[SC Swamp Fox]

without even bothering with the video (which I trust will ruin it) this is, at this point, probably the funniest thread I’ve ever seen. I was thinking the same thing, we're so wrong,...the video is hilarious even though I had a pretty good idea what to expect.

[Jonty30]

I’d probably find it amusing if I knew there weren’t idiots out there who will see this video and kill a pet cat to do this exact same thing.

[Delta 21]

I would have called it a “hovercat”.

[MV=PY]

I felt a tinge of guilt until liftoff. LOL!

Go Orville!!
