Proof that anything will fly, given enough power

This is pretty hilarious. This John Deere lawnmower is surprisingly
aerobatic!

You *do* understand that it isn't a real lawnmower, don't you? Great video, though.

That's fantastic! Now all that's left is to strap on of those fancy
mini turbines to a pig's snout.

Anything CAN fly.

You are pretty much guaranteed to see at least one of the following at any
Modelers' get-together.

A standard STOP sign.
witch on a broomstick
Snoopy on top of his doghouse (usually with another modeler flying the Red
Baron's Sopwith at the same time)
and the lawnmower

Those 4 are the favorites but there are probably lots of others that I have
never seen.

How's that damn thing work? I know it's a fake mower but where are the
control surfaces? Propulsion by what? Lift generated how?

That's just cool.

Never mind. I watched it again with my glasses and could see the prop.
Also saw that the deck is actually a cleverly disguised airfoil. Can't make
out the control surfaces, though.

I want one!
