as part of my benefits from working on them, and designing the conversion, I have a complete set of factory drawings and parts catologs ,, so I have all the documentation I need for whatever I want to do,, up to and including a full scale version. We purchased wrecked airframes from the insurance componaies and completely rebuilt them. we were one of the only factory authorized repair stations . I had the pleasure of meeting Leland Snow in Reno at the ag convention when we unveiled our conversion. I was very honered to have him spend a fair amount of time walking around our desing and asking me questions,,

the biggest handicap in making this a competative stunter is the hershey bar wing,, no taper,, and it concerns me that it will have some built in compromise,, but still, worth the effort at some point. Since I have leterally touched every part of the airplane before, I have a good insight into making a very scale stunter,,
and the color of yellow on the original is far more vivid than the ag cat pale yellow,,
Incidently, for those that dont know,, Leland Snow designed the " Snow S-1 " one of the first purpose built appplicators. then as a progression of that he designed what later became the Thrush,, which was bought by Rockwell and Leland had to sign a no competition clause for I think it was 7 years.. During that time he thought, and deisginged the Air Tractor which if one looks at the thrush and the AT side by side you can see the lineage. Sadly, Leland passed away last year IIRC, His designs are very direct, simple and easy to work on,, well except for trying to fit the stainless gate box assembly under the hopper,, that is a royal pain,,
