Abstract
A lightweight vehicle useful for harassing wildlife/waterfowl includes an elongated body/fuselage with a motor-powered propeller in the front and a vertical tail with a controllable rudder in the rear. The vehicle is able to travel over land or water on a pair of elongated floats having a ski-type shape that support the vehicle. The vehicle is made of lightweight materials such as carbon fiber so that it can travel over water, ice, snow, and mown grass without damaging the grass. The vehicle may be remotely controlled or autonomous.
