| 1403685 | 2015-06-26 08:46:00 | Must be a slow news day. How is this News, its nothing new. Aeromodellers have for years been making fly objects to resemble real life items. Used to be a guy in the Wellington Model aeroplane club build that sort of thing all the time. One was his witch on a broomstick, and it flew a lot better than that crash and burn clip, on average 5-10 minutes, used to be really good, to see it flying just as the sun had gone down getting dark but still light enough. :) Here it is: www.youtube.com And where this twit got his COPY CAT Idea -- Not his idea at all, the design has been around for years. Heres a much better flying lawnmower, loops and all :) Imagine this around the neighborhood :D from 2006 www.youtube.com |

| 1403688 | 2015-06-26 21:02:00 | Have to say I was disappointed in that article. I expect an actual lawnmower, made to fly...but no, it is a lawnmower shaped object. Meh. |

| 1403691 | 2015-06-27 11:15:00 | It may have been filmed doing a dozen flights adequately, but our trusty news hounds will only show the ding. It fits in with their own performance. |
