High-Rate Helo Cargo Transfer

[Renegade One]

Sorry if already posted, but I'd not seen it. Interesting. Looks like the "lifts" are probably bundles of fresh-cut Christmas trees. Not much threat/hazard if a drop goes awry. Still impressive flying to me…

That's some pretty slick chopperating.

Nice share - thanks! Looking at it though - I'm impressed with how quick they are hooking it up to the helo as well - sure feels like VERTREP takes a little longer...

There is a reason it looks unsafe, and most TR aircraft are not meant for that. Especially the Bell Ranger series of helos. Same thing happened to a guy on heli loggers. Just because you slap a bigger engine in a helo doesn't necessarily mean it can suddenly lift more.
