Saw it working with the tank.The pilots hate it.Apparently it gets very unstable in certain flight conditions and there certainly isn't much clearance between it and the ground (talking millimetres here).They much prefer the bucket and 100 ft of line(most being loggers) and they certainly are more effective with the bucket from what I saw.Maybe the tank need more flight testing
