Can these lot not be banned, always the same people bickering. Youre all correct, everyone else is wrong. Now please stop boring us all.
In answer to the ops question. You are not going to get more bites due to angles approached. As its still a stiff rig and will still have similar pivot points. What a helicopter will help with though, is presentation. If the inline buries into the lake bead, the hooklink could be left pointing in a more upwards way and may stand out to the fish. With the hei opter this is a lot less likely to happen as in theory, the rig shoulds always lay flat on top of the lakebed as there is no weight attached to drag it in it anywhere. Obviously all in theory as the rig can land on all sorts.
If your confident that what you are fishing on is perfectly clear and hard the inline all the way, anything you arent sure of, or you know is a bit dirty, helicopter wins the day

I agree with you Nick. I'm never entirely happy with the indication on any semi fixed set up, really only ever comfortable with a running lead.. but you don't half go round the houses to make your points, which is where you lose some people because in reality your points are always valid and based on real fishing experience.
Sorry, but it did tickle me seeing the copy and pastes thinking back to a debate you were involved in about nuts as bait and when somebody mentioned Brazils, Brinxy copy and pasted about 2 pages on the life and career of Alan Brazil (the footballer)

I'd agree a running rig is the ideal way to go. However in deep silt or weed not a goer really. I don't use heli rigs unless absolutely essential. Have had fish kite without indication. I generally believe unless you fish a very tight line the bite indication is less than ideal. I'd rather use a lead clip with a suitable rig for the substrate. Up against an island I'd use a running rig if possible
Otherwise you need a heavy lead and a tight line to fish for dropbacks. Makes line lay far from ideal.

Indication isn't brilliant with a lead clip is it unless your discharging the lead on the take?
