Wirepilot, I've never been inside a 500. What is there about one that you favor for this? (I mean for inspection, not repair). Also, a local fellow who operates a 500 told our company that he could set a 1700 pound utility pole for us, and that he could auto from 80 feet (0 IAS). Is all this true? If so, maybe we should look into purchasing one.-CY
