That would be a darned long extension lead and it might cause some interference with the flight control surfaces if you did to many rolls in the same direction

I dont think the flying lawn mower was an actuall converted lawnmower. it was an airplane made to look like a lawnmower but i really got to belive that you already knew that. problem with a leafblower would be that it just would not produce enough thrust compared to its weight and also the power problem.
