This Remote Controlled Bald Eagle won’t hunt fish for you

If you’ve ever wanted to fly like a bird, technology isn’t there for you to do that yet, but for now you can fly a bird. Hammacher has recently released a new toy to curb your flying enthusiasm if you like the idea of controlling a remote controlled bird. They’ve developed the Remote Controlled Bald Eagle that flies just like the real bird – making use of its 9.5′ wingspan and a lightweight engine that’s powerful enough to generate more than 30X its weight in thrust. The bird is capable of diving and soaring, performing swift loops and can even hovers in-place against the wind like a real eagle. Just right toy to look for if the bald eagle ever goes extinct. It is on sale now from Hammacher’s website, for $499.95.
