Now that's innovation, I wish I was Peter Pan so I could see this thing in action. Imagine a turbofan fitted in one of these & controlled from an air conditioned office like the drones are, dozens of them wizzing around bucketing onto a fireline.

Is it a tool or a toy? I'm sure I saw something similar at the r/c hobby shop.

I wish I was a kid again, reminds me of when they introduced the stab bar on a bell 47.
