Crop duster drawings

If I were to build a plane, can anybody suggest drawings for a good model?

This is what I am thinking of: A slow flying model with some personality of its own, for example a crop duster. Good flying characteristics at low speeds, no need to fly inverted. Size a span of around 2 meter (6 feet eight). Most 1/4 sized would be too big but I suppose you could reduce wing profiles and other important details on a decent copier.

Thanks for any answer Anders

You couldn't go wrong with a Agwagon. PLENTY of personality!

That is a plane so ugly, that it is cute. (in an ugly kind of way) :-)

How about the airplane in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome? Gets my vote for oneof the most unusual airplanes in wide use.http://www.aamb.com.au/AIRTRUK.HTMJim in NC

Thanks, it looks great.

But could that be the true wing profile? It looks almost symetric.

Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge:

If you want an "Unusual" crop duster, check out the Transavia PL-12 Airtruk (spelling is correct ). If you are interested let me know - I have a set of cad drawn plans for a 40 size (about 68" wingspan ) that can easly be enlarged to whatever size you want. One thing about this plane - because of the short coupling between the nose wheel and mains, it needs to be flown from a paved runway.

Thanks, it looks like fun but I think I prefere the Agwagon. Still, with that curious configuration, what is it like to fly? Besides being sensitive on start and landing. I am just curious.

I recall this one! I like it, just not as much as my Pawnee...

Flys like a cross between a trainer and a 4* The plane is HIGHLY aerobatic, yet is almost impossible to stall. I have had the plane at a

45 degree angle AT IDLE, and it just keeps mushing along.
