I went and did a chemical application audit today and saw the ingenious system that Skyworks has got- A couple of self contained trucks with fuel, landing pad, chemical mixing and recharging point all rolled into one.

We spray areas that get weed infested between felling and replanting so obviously need to check the contractors are operating to best practice etc etc.

I got a bit sand/grit/bits of wood blasted everytime the chopper came into refill but it was good to see how they worked.













It would be cool to put together a little mission with some forestry stuff (i.e. medivac, fire fighting etc)...one day

Cheers for looking

Not too hard- Just need to tag a polygon with a harden tag to make it landable.

Mike has built a very small pad just outside Hamilton on the Terapa straight heading north ideally suited for a bit off practice .
