Here is another small helipad.

Here is another one but not built to last, it broke 30 minutes after landing there, lucky me, blades were stopped and the aircraft ended up sitting on the stinger, not a scratch. The pad was the right size with the right number and size of logs but they were too widely spaced. That was my fifth time landing there and shutting down.
That's me on the roof calling the Astar working with me.
Flew back to camp afterward with the Astar to get the AME and a couple of fallers, We cut the logs slowly, one by one to get the ST to come down almost level. got it going and left.

A bit turbulent if you fly in the wrong spot otherwise 35 kts is smooth as silk :ok:

We had the good fortune of flying in her a few months ago while it was enroute back home from the European tour.
