Saw this article in our local paper - guess the journalist fished around for a picture and came up with this fixed wing model which hardly looks capable of carrying a payload of herbicide with spray bars and 3m rotor disk.

We base our opinions and decisions on what these pelicans dish up to us... The state of any society is closely linked to the quality of its media.

The beauty of the Australian duopoly system is that neither party competes vigorously!

They are most likely refering to the Yamaha RMAX heli which is used to spray crops, there short training I hope has changed as one bloke chopped himself up (and died) trying to fly one years ago.

 

I have flown R/C helis for 10+ years and these guys can fly one after one or two weeks training.... lol

The media is great at posting miss leading info all the time :)
