Mini Yanmar helicopter!

[Car Doc]

I ran across this video of an RC Yanmar helicopter with a crop spray rig setup thought you guys would enjoy it. This guy can really fly that little chopper and its an amazing little mini helicopter!

I wonder if anyone knows anything about it is it really a Yanmar or just badged that way for a Yanmar facility like an ag research group etc? looks to me like they are spraying rice but I could be wrong.

edit: found this it is apparently a Yanmar product but I cant read it so just guessing.

Nice! I bet the other cool tractor makers don't make one of these.

Some of these are so sophisticated that they can be programmed to follow GPS routes... :cool2:

I would love one but don't have the extra 100 grand to pick one up. Maybe my wife will stuff one in my stocking this xmas. :laughing:
