This is one of those "models" that I have always wanted..... and it comes under the catagory of "Unusual", and it certainly is that. As you can see it is a lawnmower.... but there the similarity ends. It is built from a kit from Fying Thingz in the USA and is of foam and balsa construction where the main lifting body or "wing" is foam covered with solarfilm and the handles are balsa. Elevons and the dummy engine cover are again foam. Powered by an Irvine 61 two stroke it is quite rapid and gets airborne quite quickly.

This is me doing my bit for the club keeping the grass short...... well almost.
