A Lawn Mower That Flies

by Will Safer on April 4, 2008 at 12:07 PM


Leave it to our friends up in Canada to spend their long winters coming up with creative modifications and twists on the familiar.

Two Canadian radio control enthusiasts have made a business out of making bizarre things fly. Things not shaped like planes. Not shaped like birds. Not even shaped like a moth or a dragonfly.

So, the next time you find yourself in a park on a warm sunny day, and you hear that high-pitched buzzing you expect comes with a remote controlled plane, look closely and you may see a flying witch, a flying doghouse, or even a flying lawn mower.

Yes, the inventive guys at Flying Thingz have put a lawn mower in the sky. Brilliant, we say.

Think you want to mow the sky yourself? Order one up. They're selling the kits to these choppers for $149 a pop.
