Default Re: New Sections of Emley Moor Mast being lifted into place

There are fancy autopilots for helicopters doing construction and rescue work that will hold the aircraft fairly still in 4 dimensions, with controls to allow vernier movements. Still takes a skilled pilot to be able to get them into position in the first place and to handle things if they disengage.
