That is a neat mower. Wonder what it cost?

Pretty neat! Did you watch the videos? It is very quiet.
That is quite a machine.
Since it uses petrol and weight is in kilograms, I assume it's like most innovations in machinery - not available in the U.S.
Might be useful on properties in my area. 2:1 slopes are the flat areas, undercut past vertical common in the rocks, our house and driveway built into a 1:1 slope.

You know, to operate it you have to see it. I would not want to climb down your slopes, holding the remote controller, and try to get this thing to do its trick...

I was thinking the same thing. I mean all you'd have to do is trip over your feet and im guessing be at your neighbor's in no time.woodlandfarms said:

Carl,
That's what they make those little remote controlled helicopters with the cameras for. Wouldn't be too bad if they had auto pilot for hovering. (having fun trying to picture Carl keeping the two different remotes straight)

I used to build flying model airplanes as a kid. You know, out of Balsa and skin. i got reall good at building them, but could never afford to fly them. I built at least 50, if not more... People would buy them from me and I would go watch them fly.
So, flash forward to 10 years ago and the ex-wife is yelling in my ear I need an outdoor sport. So I go buy a starter kit. Radio, Ready To Fly airplane. Engine... 15minutes into the first flight I bury the thing deep into the ground. Talk about the destruction of the childhood dream.
I have NO eye hand coordination. None... Me no do remotes... ****, I can't make my tv work half the time.

You guys crack me upwoodlandfarms said:
A Company called Real Flight makes a simulator for R/C Airplanes and Helicopters. The simulator uses a controller just like you use on these aircraft. If you start out with that for a while, (about a year), you can learn to fly anything well.
I wonder if an add on program for a slope mower is in the future?
