Huh, yup, looks like a flying lawnmower, and nothing in Snopes says it isn't.  What'll they think of flying next?  

I was naively expecting some sort of ducted fan helicopter that would literally buzz people.  

Still amazed that configuration would fly let alone maneuver adroitly.

Remember the flymo? Do they still make those, or did they outlaw them?

Sure, I believe they still make them.
