This cool helicopter/ tree trimmer, is flying around my neighborhood right now, trimming away all the limbs around the power lines. Looks like a pretty awesome job.

So this might be a dumb question, but how does this work? Is there a chainsaw-like blade on the bottom just swinging around, or is there a dude strapped in with tree trimming gear in hand..?

And if so where do I sign up?

There is a gas engine hanging down and there are a whole bunch of rotary saw blades, the pilot is controlling the saw motion completely through his own piloting skills. It’s pretty impressive because you can see the helicopter constantly maneuvering to make corrections and swing the blade around.
