Patience is a virtue! If you just wait for a minute for this video to download onto your computer, you will see this flying lawnmower in the black box in the middle of the screen. Good luck!

Thanks for the info PIC. Waited a full 5 five min, and still nothing.O well cant do everything in life I guess.

Cheers Mini.........

I really do hate computers anyways.................

It's obviously a remote control lawnmower ( I can't believe I just had to write that sentence!! :shock: )

 

The question is, how does it get its lift??? The small piston engine and prop is obvious at the front of it, and I could even see the rudder/elevator built into the handle bars but what gives it its lift???

Maybe the upper surface of the body is airfoil shaped?????

Blackmac ---------would that make my John Deere riding lawn-mower a potential Medium Bomber then? If so, then I possess a potential WMD. Hope Paul Cellucci doesn't find out about this.

Cap: As you are no doubt aware GB is having a hard time finding WMD, so I passed this on to the Ambassador (US) and you will probably be gettind a visit from the Feeble Eye and the Horse Mounted People.

 

Have a good one, Don.

 

PS: As memory fails me, what was Jack Pearson and Fred Wayte doing changing a T/R on your machine in Sept Isles?

Both guys worked for me at Autair and Emile Lupien was Chief Engineer at Wheeler/Autair in Sept Isles.

Emile, Fred, Jim and Jack all worked at Autair and of course Harvey.

 

Fred and I are the only two left.

 

Lots of ANGELS on my shoulders.

Blackmac------ that occasion at Sept-Iles was immediately post-Autairand I knew all the rest of that info very well. There's one person that you didn't mention, but maybe he's not "with us" any longer.........Don May. The old flagship AHA is still floundering around out west someplace, so let's include her too. She was "mis-registered" anyway........she should have been registered as CF-BIG HANDS. I've logged more than my share of time on her and if you listen real close sometimes, you can hear her laugh like Harvey.

Hey Cap,

 

I was curious what AHA would have been but I think I was right in assuming it was a BH06.

 

Serial number 257 aka C-GAHA was registered to Associated Helicopters back in 1983 and is currently registered to 5th Avenue Investments Inc. out of Sherwood Park, Alberta.

AHA was a 204. She'd date from about '65. She started her life in Canada with Autair, St. Jean, PQ and the other authority on that old girl is right here on this website......Blackmac. She would rank about Number 2 or 3 into Canada. There was an AHB before her, but it had a Gnome engine. RSR is still in existence and she was right behind AHA. AHY was the flag ship of Associated Helicopters and she ranks right up there too. Of all of the above, AHA is the only one that hasn't been "written-off" at least once. The real old ones are easy to spot if you can get their serial numbers. All numbers before 2026 have small fuel tanks (unless converted) and you know they are old by that serial number.
