Obviously what I have been doing wrong in the garden, not spraying. Just need a helicopter and then the plants will grow......

Wonder how many hours he/she can fly the helicopter before the spraying and concentration gets too much?

smooth landings.

He/she certainly can fly a helicopter!! Good little video as well, interesting to watch, and he is certainly generous with the spray!!! Not so easy to film at close range, but you did a good job with this one.

Smooth landings.

Simply grab it by the tail and swing it around and around and around and the spray just seems to come out tongue.gif
