  Yup! My kid built one and it's
pretty good.
   Not unlike a Twister so he moved
the wing forward one inch to balance
a LA. 46. ( APC 12 - 3.75)
  Dave, it's a good plane. You'll be happy
and yours looks great.

Thank you for the words of encouragement.  I've always had a soft spot for the Ag aircraft and when I saw the plans for this one it had to be built.

Plans pull from the hinternet designed and penned by Larry Cruse The engine will be a Magnum GP 40 I had laying around mono coat covering an a home made fuel tank I wanted to try recessing part of the tank into the fuselage to reduce the flow effort for the engine. I had originally threatened the flyers in Phoenix to use an old Fox 35 and extra castor to simulate spraying operations...

Started the covering process> I wanted to try using the non dope method so I have brushed on the Polycrylic and used it to stick down some SIG Koverall I had left over from a Shoestring build I did a few years ago.  I was impressed how much easier it was to work with than the other glue that I used on the Shoestring the Balsaright stuff came in a can and needed to be thinned before it could used to stick coverings on.  these photos were taken before shrinking the covering.

Update the AgWagon had a maiden flight yesterday!  I would love to say I flew it but due to vertigo issues I had to have Mark Allen fly it for me.  Thank you so much for the encouragement and helping me by flying it for me.
