Default FLYING LAWNMOWER

I would appreciate any advice on locating plans for a "Flying Lawnmower". This is a .60-.75 glow powered novelty model.
Thanks,
Rich

I think RC modeler had plans. Several guys in our club have built them. Its a hoot to see them race each other.

Does anyone think the Flying Lawnmower would be a good first build for a (5 month) new pilot?

I bought a RTF HObbistar to train on 'cause I was so scared of even having to assemble a ARF.

But I recently got into plan-built foamies and wonder if kit building is really that hard to do...

ANyway, we're having a fly-in in June with a lot of scouts showing up, and I would love to have this lawnmower and a Flying Stop Sign in the air. It'd be hilarious.

Comments/suggestions on this as a first build?

Having had a "Flying Thingz" lawnmower, I would not reccommend it for a first build. Also lots of fun to watch fly, but not for a beginner either. They fly OK, but you have to stay with it all the time. My son has one and I had one, (sold mine). I enjoy watching my son fly his, but for me, I didn't enjoy flying mine that much. I'll stick to my Telemaster!!!!
