Helicopter aerial top-dressing

These boys don't mess around.

[@RCCopterLove]

This pilot displays some great skills! I love his turns when he is using the cenrifugal force to handle this bucket is such a smooth and controlled way. Thanks for the great video and the good camera job! It was a pleasure to watch this!!

[@MrFlyingSquirl]

That was seriously impressive coordination and timing

[@JohnMeaking]

That is impressive flying! I could watch that all day.

[@TheTheGuinness]

Those flying skills!! Always amazing to see professionals at work.

[@hoggif]

Picking up new load and take-off's are amazingly fast! I'd not do that with my quad, with real load and real people onboard that is an indication of a routine. The groundie does his job quickly with a routine too, without him they'd never get that quick loadings. I've never seen that method before, copters are not used for fetilizers around here. That was different and very interesting!

[@youtou252]

your drones are really getting big

[@voltlog]

Probably just an aerobatics helicopter pilot who retired and now earns something extra by doing this job :-)

[@4funrc11]

Woo-hoo! Talk about a coordinated effort. Very nice!

[@DickGibson]

Super kool, thanks a big bunch for sharing

[@goobisoft4873]

wow i can't even fly a quadcopter like that and he is flying a real thing so precise

[@RK-dp9fe]

Great pilot makes it look easy.

Wou that thing is just crazy, flying as well... newer seen anything like it, bucket has vertical stabiliser and all! Next video; inaw way points fertilisation :)

[@mikelemon5109]

Wow this pilot is good

[@RagTheNutsOff]

When I grow up, I want to be able to do that!

[@UriahD85]

Takes bloody years

[@kz4506]

Lethal way to do it , good pilot, no room for error ,

[@kermets]

Is that a rudder behind the bucket have a control rod on it ?

[@blancsteve4819]

That pilot got skills.

[@peaps]

woh his approach speed is crazy!

[@t395delta]

few years time that'll be one man with a fully automated drone in the back of his truck and time to kill, and would also make a cool video

[@Jarotz1]

supreme skill

[@goobisoft4873]

awesome flying skill accurate stopping

[@tinplategeek1058]

And a brave person just stood by the wagon waiting for a few hundred kilos of metal to come flying towards them. Must have had to have supreme confidence in the pilot.

[@goobisoft4873]

EnjoyingUTube Too true

[@Friendroid]

Skill

[@lasersbee]

2:35 You would think they would hang the bucket level under the copter.

[@iforce2d]

6:32 I suppose they want it to be level in forward flight

[@lasersbee]

It looks level when he's flying back empty at high speed but still looks off level when he is flying slow and spreading the product. Seems to work anyway.

[@uriahday747]

This looks familiar. What part of NZ is this

[@iforce2d]

Near Morrinsville

[@uriahday747]

@@iforce2d lol thought it was one of ours from Taranaki

"This is what I do; this is what you'll pay me."

[@ismzaxxon]

Cant do that out my way. Pollutes the rivers. Algae gets out of control

[@superriff]

Would of been cool to have a runcam on the chopper or spreader. Great vid nevertheless

[@jimmyblack2505]

wow cool

[@slucas601]

Wow, very cool. Anyone want to try an autonomous crop dusting quadcopter fleet?

[@Tom-ls6cb]

Jesus, he is half hanging out of the helicopter! 4:25

[@masonoregan8075]

I search helicopter top dressing nz and the first video top pop up is of my next door neighbor.

[@Travis7919]

"No fear!" That is for sure. I'm just wondering what are they spreading ? It wouldn't be common to use anything ecological in NZ :)

[@qfpv7340]

What are they doing? Killing some mosquitos or what? Maby it is a seed?

[@antoniorsoftware]

It's "urea", a type of nitrogen fertilizer, check at 4:55.

[@qfpv7340]

thx

[@mistercohaagen]

Looks about as precise as dispersing Donnie's ashes; kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWXdiIuqmpxmY80 All that piloting precision and the wash from a 2-ton heli blows the payload anywhere other than where you were trying to put it. This is why we need drones for agriculture!

[@iforce2d]

I was kinda expecting this comment... the stuff you see blowing sideways is just a little dust from the pellets rubbing on each other. If it was that useless nobody would pay for this service :) The actual stuff they are dropping is not affected by the wind as much, but is quite hard to see. Look closer at the left side of the screen at 1:36. Just at a guess, by the time it reaches the ground I'd say he's getting around 100m or so width per pass.

[@vvdv3444]

Speeading seeds?

[@antoniorsoftware]

At 4:55 he calls it "urea", a type of fertilizer.

[@mbirth]

So dried AdBlue?

[@bluesquadron593]

So that's what's going on, watching urea flying around and not producing content for us... I feel hurt man.

[@iforce2d]

Sorry man, I'll give you a full refund :) wait... this isn't content for you?

[@bluesquadron593]
