I recall last spring seeing ads for a company putting out one called 'Flymo'. Sorry, thats all I remember except them showing this guy mowing this steep hill by holding the mower in one hand and moving it back and forth. I should mention, we have one of these hover vacuum cleaners (same principal - it hovers on a cushion of air). The major disadvantage is that when its not turned on, it doesn't hover and doesn't have wheels, so you have to drag it or carry it around. Karen Summers-Horton
