biggrin.gif The pilots arm looks a little more tanned from the last week we saw him , I would have considered a better helicopter to use rather than the R44 but 44 has the extra power

Their was also a Jetranger Operating with an Ag Bucket last week just up the road from my place but could get close enough to get any pics due lack of roads.

I reckon the power to weight on the 300 is better. The 44 was never designed for this sort of work, the 300 is better suited.
