Second attempt. Amalgamated Helicopters 500E (Nemeth Freeware) Topdressing over the Otago Penninsula. This was a bit trickier than the Lama shot, but after a bit of fiddling I am Happy with the Result.

I guess its ag aviation themed, but I would not term an R22 an "Ag" aircraft as such. But everybody interprets the rules differently I guess.

Well, I thought about that before I took the screen and then thought it would be best if turned to my old friend Wikipedia. I read there:

QUOTE

Due to relatively low acquisition and operating costs, the R22 has been popular as a primary rotorcraft trainer around the world and as a livestock management tool on large ranches in North America and cattle stations in Australia.[/quote]

So I thought it passed?
And it's not because I don't like your cresco, infact it has a LOT of time in my logbook!

No doubt they do use Robbies to round up sheep in the South High Country...

Another great idea for a mission...

[connor]

I reckon a sheep herding addon for FSX would be brilliant! Are you listening Captain Sim, for get Weapon, bring on Ag Pilot.

[deaneb]

In the early days, my first sim, FS3 had a cropduster mode where you had a certain time frame to fly over a field of squares which filled with colour (i think the sim only had 8 colours in total) if your cropdusting was done within the right altitude and track.

Hahaha I would have thought that with all the ag research that you have done, you would have found that the R22 is about as Kiwi ag as you can get!

Cooch, and Bugs....great shots.....Cooch...i love the Lama.....i hope Adam see's this shot.

A comment from a one-month wonder (newby). Compared to the January screenie comp, this month's is becoming a revelation in or revitalization of the versatility of this membership. I believe, at the conclusion of the contest, a group citation be considered for all entrants. No cash value - of course .

Plenty of sheep ... nope .. couldn't spot any Llamas ... there was this 'orrible looking egg beater thing though [shudder].

Bugs (another great pic) ... looks like you're about to have the usual competition problem ... "how the heck do you decide which one to enter"??? ... we need a smiley for "neener neener neener"

Don't quite understand?? Whilst a few R22 are used by some operators for the odd job, they are definitely not "as kiwi ag as you can get" !! They are a training/private helicopter with very limited payload. Even Robinson Helicopters do not endorse what some operators are doing with them as many have crashed as a result of flying beyond there design parameters.

As ole Frank said , it was designed to get ya to work and home again without the US freeways , that was 30 years ago , today they push the limits still .... was not designed for the task , just adapted and broken the rules .

[noooby]

Personally I'd like someone to model the Auster Agricola so that I could enter that in the Screenshot Competition. Deane?? Anyone???
