Build Your Own Flying Lawn Mower

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lawn-ranger dept.

Ant writes "Ever seen a flying lawn mower (streaming; download 5.1 MB WMV file) before? I haven't. The WMV video file description says: 'FlyingThingZ Sky Cutter .40 V2 flying at Moon Lake's Annual Make a Wish Foundation Airshow for 2004'. More information can be found on the official Web site. Seen on Blue's News. My good friend, KaT, brought up a good question: 'Since lawns (also known as grass) live usually less than 6" from the ground, how would flying help them do their job better?'"

    My niece was killed by a flying lawnmower when she was 4.....

    She's better now, but those first few hours were pretty harrowing.

    Wow.
