Ok, here's what we do. Make about 5000 of these things. Drop leaflets and post signs all over Iraq, Iran, N Korea, Afghanistan, South Central Los Angeles, etc. The leaflet says in the local language, "Attention Terrorist/gangbanger/other undesirable: Your --- is grass."


Then start flying these babies.....


Just a thought....Does Rummy post here?

Is that thing controllable, or is it just up there on it's own will and only comes down when out of gas......? IF controllable, I like 85e150six4mtod's idea.

I would imagine its controllable, I mean, it landed, and they made it do loops and stuff. i doubt they programmed that all in. Looks like its a model plane, and they put a mower deck on it.

A true, real life, flying lawn mower would be a RC helicopter hovering inverted with the blade 1/2 inch above the grass.
