Stuck in Helicopter scene

There must be just one more vine that needs to come down. Keep trying to click on the vertical as well as the horizontal vines. Also Check round the egdes. Good luck!

It's true, as other have said, that the vines need to be cleared away from the helicopter cockpit before you can get to those items. But don't try cutting the vines by clicking the machete accross them, it may not work; it seems you have to touch them with the TIP of the pointer. [The same thing is true when you try to apply antidote to snake bites later in the game; touch the bites with the TIP of the swab pointer -- and try doing only one bite at a time.] This game has a super-sensitive pointer that will ignore anything not exactly on target.
