mmm coool

 

just a couple of questions

 

1, what happens if the saw gets stuck?

2, the worst part of any tree job isnt the cutting it`s the clearing up! imagine the mess below that thing:scared1:

How would you control it if it began to swing? The lenght of the thing could make it pendulum if you weren't really careful woundn't it? Not the sort of thing I'd fancy next to power cables!!

You would think the pilots would have to train for many hours/weeks/months before they could do it for real.
