- A total of about 60 minutes dual hangin onto a stick in Cessna, a glider, and a gyrocopter.
Interesting story from Norman Surplus' Globex round the world gyrocopter blog page (Yes, he is still working at the mission!)

Large remote control helis routinely used in Japan to spray rice crops: (I hope he does not mind the photo links)
Found a video here ... looks like a training session:

This is not as clear but the flying looks more professional:
ヤンマー無人ヘリコプターã®é›¢é™¸ Takeoff of the helicopter,yanmar AYH-3 - YouTube
and one more (also nicely showing the spray circulating through the rotor at about 2.21) [EDIT] looks like the spray goes through the rotor, but it actually arcs up behind in the wake ... similar to wing tip vortices.... as can be seen later in the video.
