R22 Cherry Drying

[marialanger]

I do this work with an R44, which throws a lot more wind. I generally fly 5-10 feet off the tree tops, also following the aisles between rows of trees like this pilot does. The air washes over the tree tops beside me and goes under the trees all around. Really gives the branches a good shaking. Frankly, I don't think an R22 throws enough air for this kind of work, unless it's drying younger trees. It is better, however, for getting into the tight spots around obstructions. Nice video.

@marialanger empty weight of an r44?
