2 pine removal from last week..

[DrewB]

stem pieces weighed between 450kg and 650kg. Heli flew for about 2 hours, ive waited ages to do a chopper removal and its awesome.

[Mark Bolam]

[David Humphries]

Is there much of a down draft to deal with?

Nice tilt shift bro. Whereabouts was it? Been trying to figure out what the mount is in the back ground. Thought it was Devonport. Nice to see you doing some of the grunt work instead of all that fancy lighting stuff

good work bro looked like an awsome job and site!

[DrewB]

Yeah its a pretty cool way to do treework. The chopper can lift 600kg in zero wind but it was quite windy (9 knots) so created more lift and also removed the downdraft. Costs nz$2000 per hour but removing those stems by chogging would of taken days for many guys to do so works out a good price. plus, its a helicopter so it gets cool points. Ill hopefully get some photos and vid off others- the turn around was about 20 secs between pieces so not much time for photos from me
