good points - I hadn't though about onboard torque reaction devices.
Still, I'm with you on simple ... putting sensors, actuators and control systems on a load looks good in theory, but I can see all sorts of practical problems in the field.
Currently all about how big a force can you generate and how well you can control it. The target market is clearly for big loads and big cranes. Maybe one day that will be sorted and the attention can turn to helicopters. There is an engineering solution to everything.
