Re: Flying Lawnmower???
SWEET!!!

It looks like someone used parts from a model airplane...but to get something in that shape to be stable while flying is amazing impressive.

check that out....

Here are the manuals

If you look at that photograph you can tell it's pretty much a model plane with a "handle" and some cutout wheels screwed onto the end plates on the wings. It doesn't really look all that stable but I'm surprised at how maneuverable it is.

Re: Flying Lawnmower???
I used to have a flying Porche. It was based on the same principle. Take away the handle and make the sides like the profile of a Lemans Porche and you would have what I flew.
Between the two sides, from front to back, there is one giant airfoil. That's allot of lift. He probably has a .90 engine on it.
They really catch your eye.
Based on the same airfoil I have also seen a flying doghouse.
