Bart Jansen is a Dutch artist who hit the headlines a few years back when he scooped out the entrails of his dead pet to make a fur-covered drone.
Apparently the morbid remote controlled corpse was just a taste of Jansen’s creativity and he’s back with a bigger and better even more bizarre invention.

Artist turns his dead cat into remote controlled helicopter, London, Britain - When your beloved pet dies what do you do? Well if you're Dutch artist Bart Jansen you turn them into a cat copter. When Bart's 4-year-old cat Orville was run over and killed he made the controversial decision to turn his body into a quadcopter.
Enlisting the help of engineer Arjen Beltman, Orville was preserved by a taxidermist before propellers were mounted to his four outstretched paws so he could be flown by remote control.
The ended result, dubbed an Orvillecopter, was first put on show several years ago at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam and recently featured in a Channel 4 TV documentary about taxidermy called 'All Creatures Great And Stuffed'.
At the time his creation was unveiled, Jansen, who described the Orvillecopter as "half cat, half machine," commented: "After a period of mourning, he [Orville] received his propellers posthumously"...
