Was down at the sunday sail, and spotted this strange thing making it's way across the lake...

One of the few occasions where that black stuff can legitimately be called "Duck Tape".

Lol shame I forgot to take a video, you should've heard it fart! Turning the power off lifted the prop out the water, put the power back on and it was spinning on the surface lol


Anyone else got their duck working and tested?

Great Duck there.
Personally I would like to see an exploding heron

Preferably the beeping one that keeps visiting my fishpond

Looks like a Duckbilled Quackapuss to me. They can be found in many lakes,
They are predominantly yellow with a orange-red beak and stripes that may change color as the season goes on
the one pictured is a female, she may have young with her the next time she is spotted.

Me too Dave.  Unfortunately they are a protected species, and living under the Heathrow flightpath I would probably not be allowed to mount a Naval Phalanx gun on the garage roof.  If you could adapt your heron to LiPo battery, then overcharge it?

One the best things to be seen since the springers made their first appearance all those mayhems ago.
Absolutely fantastic manoeuvrability especially the 'fart'!

Can't wait to see them all at the lake in June.
Everybody has gone quackers!  :}
