Dutch boy turns his dead rat into flying rodent

Last edited Wed Sep 10, 2014, 02:47 PM - Edit history (1)

But one Dutch schoolboy has really raised the bar. Following the death of his pet rat, Pepeijn Bruins had the animal turned into a flying rodent.

Yes that's right, he made a rat-copter.
...
The rat has been fitted with three propellers and is remote-controlled
...
They've also made a dead ostrich take flight and their next project has the working title of turbo shark - you can guess the rest of that one.
