The rental fees on those cranes are a bitch. Im glad Ive only replaced one radiator, at least I put an aluminum one in.

Don't believe anything the rest of these guys tell you. You are going to need an aerial crane, sorry.

Any particular sort?

[CheeseSteakJim]

You could probably get it out with just a Sikorsky S64E Skycrane, but I wouldn't go any smaller than that.

Just a S64E? Okay, could be worse .. that's pretty doable:



Question, though: do these have kewl cockpits with dozens of gauges everywhere you look?

This is deja vu...

I was thinking the aerial crane you see on building jobsites...20 stories high...

Of course! What helicopter doesn't?

I recommend you practice removing the radiator on some junkyard cars before you try it on yours, as learning how to handle the collective and rudder properly to take out a radiator requires a small amount of practice. It's an easy job once you get the hang of it. Good luck!

Dunno .... if I built a helicopter, it'd probably have something dumb like a speedometer and a Check Engine light, maybe a fuel gauge and tach, and probably not much else. Of course, if I built a helicopter, it's not likely it'd ever get off the ground ....

So... if you built a helicopter, it'd be a car?

[1987cp]

Well, considering cars are all I know about ........... yeah, it'd probably just be a really funny-looking car.
