Yeah, that was my first thought too, once I stopped laughing and started trying to figure it out. CG? Photoshop? Sure didn't look like it--the flight was too good. Took out the blades on a lawnmower and put in a propeller? That didn't make sense either. But then my husband pointed out that you can see sky through it when it's coming head on, the handle wobbles a bit when it lands, and the base is very thin and wing-shaped. So it's just a very clever RC plane.
Cute nonsense lyrics, too.

You can buy that lawnmower skycutter plane for like $90 in their shop
There's a video of a flying tank with better music:

Edit: the $90 only buys the basic body structure, you still need to provide your own Radio (4ch with elevon or "V" tail mixing), Engine and acc., Fuel tank, Pushrods, Wheels, Prop, Covering, glues, and basic hobby tools.

The r/c flying lawnmower has been around forever.
Other interesting R/C flying oddballs include:
Snoopy on his dog house
A Stop sign
flying saucers
Tanks and various other usually earth bound vehicles.
I did a little seraching and couldnt find pics of em all, but, These are just the ones I remember seeing in different r/c magazines, videos etc over the years when Gonz was heavy into R/C flying.
