RE: crop duster r/c

Go to your neighborhood toy store or Walmart and look at the Super Soaker type water guns. Many different sizes and shapes of pressure tanks that can be used with some modifications.

RE: crop duster r/c

Yes this was the last year for that Thrush. Last year (2008) was the 20th anniversary so "any old plane was allowed " no matter the number of times it had appeared. The rule has now gone to 5 years...

Here's a copy of my BIo sheet for TG'09, this should give you the info without retyping if I can get rid of all the extras that keep showing up.

RE: crop duster r/c

Most common engine on a full scale Ag Cat is a P&W R-985 with 9 cylinders. Either of those would surely sound good though!

RE: crop duster r/c

Red,
You'll have a problem finding engine parts for a true 1/4 scale Thrush, the Williams brothers parts are for the 450HP P&W 985's so they work at a "smaller" scale for the 600HP P&W 1340's on...

Well, I am working on a large 90"WS, short coupled biplane with some very unique features for my next competition model but, sorry it's not an Ag-Cat. It's not even a duster, it'll have guns!...
