Wet paddock, closing window
The rig will bog and the forecast has three clear days in it. We fly off the headland and you don't lose the spray.

S.02Where it suits4 situations
Steep and timbered
Blackberry, lantana and woody weeds on country you wouldn't take a quad up. We work it in swaths, following the terrain.
Creek lines and margins
Riparian weeds, drain banks, roadside and fence lines — the awkward strips that cost a ground rig half a day.
Patches, not paddocks
Map the weeds first, then treat only the patches. Growers commonly cut chemical on a fallow spray by a third or more.

S.04EVERY JOB, NO EXTRA CHARGE
You don't just get the paddock done. You get it on paper.
Most contractors hand you an invoice. We hand you a record:
- A coverage map showing exactly where the aircraft flew
- Actual litres or kilograms applied, per hectare and total
- Any skips, overlaps or missed corners, marked
- Wind speed, direction and temperature at time of application
- Chemical, batch and rate, formatted for your spray diary
Also worth knowing
→Know which parts of the paddock actually need it.
Crop health, weed maps and variable-rate prescriptions from a single flight — so the next pass treats the 20% that needs treating.
