How can I make a pumpkin head fly across the stage?

I’m a theatre director and I’m looking for ideas on how to make the Headless Horseman’s head (a plastic pumpkin) fly across the stage without careening wildly into my actors or the audience. The distance to travel is about fourty feet and I’m considering some sort of rig using monofilament (fishing line to the rest of us). If you have an idea, let me know! I’ve tried the basic pendulum idea, and it really doesn’t look too hot to me.
