Jared Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I was wondering if anyone currently does this and if so could you help me learn more about the industry? I have a friend that is looking into doing it for his own farm but I don't know what the best aircraft is or really anything about it. Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apiaguy Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Yes I do it on my own farm and for others. Your questions are rather vague. Aircraft type is very subjective and a lot if personal bias as to what is best. Feel free to pm or ask more questions. What would you like to learn?

Bell47Pilot Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Well the Bell 47 is actually very popular for spraying inexpensive to buy. But if you starting to need parts that is where it gets expensive. Apiaguy what do you use for spraying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apiaguy Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Left turn yes. Right turn no not really but a little pressure to start or stop the turn. I started a discussion on here about that about 4-5 years ago before I started flying ag....
