We are fans of crazy cool stuff around here, and it really doesn’t matter what it is as long as it’s motorized. Well, this is one bad ass motorized mother of mayhem. It’s actually got two engines, and both of them are capable of tearing up some serious stuff. The kicker? It’s all hanging from a helicopter! And some dude is hanging out of said helicopter, while flying said helicopter, and chopping off tree limbs around high tension power lines. Crazy stuff, and this video shows not only how they do it, but the whole process of putting the saw together and on the helicopter as well.
It’s crazy, and we’re not sure we’d want to do it, but we’d sure like to watch it go down live and in person. Growing up in Northern California we often saw helicopters cleaning high tension/high voltage lines, but this is something else.

“The World is Not Enough”…was the first thing I thought of when this came up. Woe to the poor sap near one if a blade came loose…
Blue Angels eat your hearts out.
This guy lives dangerously enough flying near power lines, but he’s wielding a saw that BIG?? Forget brass, he’s got carbide balls!!
