Love it. he's using his breath to help the cyano set. Then snips off the fuss after hes done flying leaving the poor meatfly to live out his days with a pole stuck to it belly

I amazed a nasty old fat fly could make for such harmless fun

Using Wasps could be interesting. Could do warbirds with a kick
Twin engined wingstingers.lol

In the Philippines, the poor kids catch these beetles called Salagubangs, they tie string around the beetles body, underneath the wings, and they twirl them around until the beetle starts flapping its wings. Now the damn things are pretty much control line models!!!
