        that was very cool.

        I just watched a 40 something minute show on the tucker, he used helicopter flat 6 at first.

        give balanced guts its only going to gain a lopsided crook. A job in the woods is very satisfying.

            Time is money!

            I wonder what they are using for the hook and release mechanism.

              POETRY IN MOTION!
              Across a 400' pasture in front of my house was a christmas tree farm..
              Those little copters shake the house.. the field is maybe 40-50 acres.. Took them half a day to load maybe 20 trucks..
              It is said that as much as it costs to operate the copters, it is still cheaper than loading and hauling them out on the ground..
              Remember, here in OR, where they have trees is usually on steep ground and very muddy.. 5 trips in one rut will bury a 4by up to the pumpkin..
              Those guys are really skillful! Watching them in person is a real treat! The vibrations of the machine felt on the hood of the truck beauty and fluidity of them in a very boring job.. Think of it.. Back and forth..
              If it aint snowy tmrw, I just might find a place to watch a copter!

                I read the tag under the video...after I post the above reply..
                Both farms are 5-30 miles from me..
                And I have more than likely watched that pilot fly!

                  Pretty freaking crazy. Wonder how often they crash.

                      There was one last year or the year before.. So actually not often at all..
                      Since I cant hear, I feel them.. They do shake the house..

                        You are right.. Hooking is the slowest part..

                          The way he "plays" the swing is cool. Looks like he gets in a rythem.
