For anyone interested,

Their is a Helicopter pilot here in Canada that has developed and Patented a water canon system mounted under the skids of an A-star, (Real one). He has developed it for fire suppression on
Hi-rise buildings. I have seen this thing work! What a machine!!

One shot from the jumbo super soaker and the fire is out at the 9th floor. If anyone is interrested in modeling this unit or seeing photo's of it let me know? I'm new to the heli world but enjoy it very much!!

When I saw this I thought you were referring to the giant water pistol of the same name!

Now, I guess you could strap one of these to your helicopter and operate it with a servo, but I'm not sure what the other flyers would think......

Ya,

Thats what this is. A large water pistol, producing about 2500 psi on the real one. Eric, the pilot sets up at the window on a Hi-rise and lets it go. He says with this thing attached to his A-star, it will push his ship back about 10 ft. Must be a rush. He now has an external line to areal fill and a separate motor to pressurize the gun.

I guy I know that was in the armed forces said one of his buddies mounted a paintball gun on his heli. THat would also be pretty neat to try.
