    A scratch built KMAX rotor design for RC. Very nice work.

    Golden Child flew something like that at their last airshow, except the rotors were passive.

    Just found this, the sports cam era is lending us footage that simply never existed before. Very cool footage. The water pump next to the yellow tank is a famous design that includes a Rotax 185 ultralight engine from waaaaaay back in the day. Also this fire was in Oregon right next to Mt. Hood. And that is a typical fire Helibase arrangement, and the mission type depicted here is common for wilderness situations.

    He should have flown with the GoPro on the main blade.  :D
