Chopper

The second best job in the world? Near Amagi on the Japanese island of Kyushu, a radio controlled helicopter is used to spray pesticide on a crop of oats. The helicopter leaves no tracks on the field, can deliver very specific doses of chemical and must be a total buzz to pilot. Watch the closing scenes as Duncan and Bruce load the beast onto the back of a ute. I want one!

Looks like it could do with some Apocolypse Now-style fireworks rockets shot at it.

Heh heh - yeah, something from the Kurokawa space program. Something nucreear! Off the shoulder or polystyrene compound. Ah, those were the days!

I'll go you halvies in the price. We may need to practice up on something smaller though. I'm sure some Ag chopper pilots in Aus would shoot it out of the sky happily (bloody job stealing technology).
