Crop duster version is it possible to have this with standard wings and no hood, no sparyers? The duster looks great!

The sprayers and hood will be configurable through the configuration manager. The wings not. A single cockpit version is also available on the Super Stearman. It was never our intent to recreate Sanderson’s model.

Modeling of the sprayer/duster is essentially complete with a few things left to do plus textures.

sure the one has a chopped vertical fin and the other a huge spinner, but these paints would look terrific on this model, with or without the hood..

I'll do few repiants if the paint kit will be ready. I love Crop Duster version also.

Is the spinner to counteract the weight of the spray solution in the tank behind the pilot?

Did Stearmen ever have canopies in military service, maybe in cold climates, like the Tiger Moth in Canada?

my understanding is that the chem hopper is in front of the pilot position, in what would otherwise be the front or forward cockpit. Behind the pilot would be too far aft for the CG. The weight
of the pesticide/weed killer is significant...

The spinner is probably typical of and part of the prop assembly... Lot's of variables available on the market from what I know of.
 
Thank you. I never knew that. Actually, the canopy looks very similar to the Tiger Moth's. Is it a version we can hope for sometime?

Is there much weight in it? I am wondering if its there for streamlining or CG balance?


The NZ Fletcher's have a rear hopper location for top dressing.

Here is the AG version in the clean configuration which is the default upon loading. Working on whether or not I can provide the option for stock wings in the config manager. I think so. Stand by.

 
Here's hoping for the stock wing on the duster

I would definitely appreciate a sprayer/duster with the stock wings.
