ive got a petrol strimmer,25?cc 2 stroke kawasaki engine,i fancy building a plane round it,anyone done these things before or should i do the garden with it in stead?

you'll need nitrous to take off.

then if you fly low enough you'll cut the grass as well

mad garden tools

i built a 250cc ride on rotorvator for my dad to do his allotment great fun 50mph whilst digging

I saw plans somewhere for making a 'personal' hovercraft, using one of these motors.

Now that would be cool!
