    Is it just me, or does this chopper look bigger, quite a bit bigger than the "world's biggest" RC helo pictured right next to it?

    That's really cool, but I wonder if he needs to get special permission to use the thing "downtown" so to speak, he is very close to power lines. I doubt that this kind of thing would "fly" in the US or Canada, you'd need training, licences, permits, yada yada, and sure as shit someone would call the FBIs.

    Are these even available outside of Japan?

    @Faslane: Hardly. If you want to hit a couple thousand acres of winter wheat with one of these things, you go right ahead. I'll see you in two years or so.

    If a rice farmer can afford a remote controlled helicopter he's getting paid too much.

    @Giz

    "Spraying Pesticides With An RC Helicopter Keeps Children Safe, Looks Fun"

    Let me be the first to say.

    Eh?

    Children Safe?

    What?

    How?

    Why?

    On second thoughts, I trust you Giz. Here's to keeping the children safe, after all they are our future.

    Right I must dash. I'm going to go purchase an RC helicopter and some pesticide. Then I'm going to go spray those little fellows at my local school yard. Hope this works.

    @Not So! Secret? (Landfill): I actually got my pesticide applicator's license. It has since lapsed, but that's no big deal.

    Jesus... that's a lot of lapsed licenses... military heavy equipment license, insurance license, pesticide applicator's license... I wonder if I'll keep current with my pilot's license...

    @Not So! Secret? (Landfill): I think they meant safe from big planes... or maybe safe from bugs. It's never a good idea to read too much into Giz headlines.

    @PieroJibran: That's a strobe effect. Watch some videos of acrobatic airplanes from the cockpit, you'll see the prop start spinning "backwards" when they climb.
