As seen on TV

Formaly known as a "Sky'TORO'master", this unique aircraft provides verticle lift by "MOWtating" upward with the added "Briggs and Stratinental" deck mounted engines. The takeoff ability is greatly enhanced but don't forget the "LANDscaping" feature is also greatly improved. Very popular for unimproved airports that require a precise manicured surface. The engines rotate to provide the grass cutting feature as you back taxi for take-off. Quite popular in the upper midwest where frequent Skymaster enthusiast's gather for summer fly-ins.

Currently the "SkyTOROmaster" is grounded for an enexpected AD requirement to have the blades sharpened.
