I'm for cutting his head off.

This would make a large enough hole to surgically fit some innards and also lead to the choice of a moving head  (servo?)

I agree with your problem of glue, so experiment is the question of the day.

Good grief...

Don't take the easy route - make it amphibious.

Take out the bottom, and build a flotation RC drive unit that the Duck can cover.

Thanks YOU Gerald, that's a good idea!

And for a real challenge, triphibious. These duck-things fly as well as swim and walk!

Hey, what a terrific idea - great opportunity to get my eye in with the old 12 bore {-) - if you could make it fly too, it wouldn't even be unsporting :police:
