Are we ready ???

A couple of FAT CATS 

Here ya go. Got them done finally. The plane is a Grumman/Schweizer Ag-Cat Super B, 400 gallon hopper, Tall Tail, Goosefeet, Elevator Servos, High Wing Kit and 115 gallon fuel. Airframe is 0 timed. Jim Krepps of Malden Ag-Craft in Malden, Missouri did the airframe work.

The turbine conversion was done by Bill  Hatfield of Turbine Conversions Inc. in Nuncia, Michigan. The engine is a 750 horse Walter turboprop manufactured in the Czech Republic. The propellor is an Avia/Hamilton Standard also made in the Czech Republic.

The engine and prop came from Darrell Riddell of Riddell Flying Service in West Helena, Arkansas.  Darrell pretty much coordinated the effort and the conversion was done at his facility.

The DGPS swathing system is made by the Picodas Group of Ontario, Canada. It is an Ag-Nav 2. The plane is also equipped with a Crophawk Flowmeter and smoker.This is the first fully STC'ed Walter Conversion Ag-Cat in the world. A "one-of-a-kind" type aircraft right now although I'm sure there will be many more.

Oh yeah. It's a screamer and a blast to fly. :^) Stephen (Hehe, now spell my damn name right!)
