The only thing better than a remote controlled lawnmower is a remote controlled lawnmower that can fly.

Watch the grass, it's not shorter, so it doesn't mow anything at all.
I IS fake, it flighs, i don't deny that, but it doe's not mow.
It looks like it's made of wood or foam...
But a cool video, never the less.

EDIT:
Quote
Included with Kit: CNC cut foam, laser cut balsa and lite-ply, full size plans, step by step photo illustrated manual, landing gear, screws, bolts, nuts, fittings, control horns, nose gear and our very own self adhesive, precut vinyl covering material.
It is laser cut foam , balsa and lite-ply(?) and it comes with something called instructions...

Then why call it a lawn mower? Roll Eyes
I'll be impressed when someone gets it to mow lawn.

Did you look at the shape/features of it? If i had an rc cat that flys, would you expect it to eat/poop?

It's not realistic enough if it doesn't eat  and poo. Grin Wink
Good point though Smiley
But still it would be cool if it mowed lawn too.
