Thanks to YOU, the Modelers who enjoy scale, scratch-build projects... the AT502-72 has been a very sucessful part of Teamduster Designs. Many of our customers have indicated that the building process is straight forward, fun, and rewarding at the finish... then there is the great feeling of having something at the field that is very scale looking, and not like all the other models.
Thanks to Suppliers...
A special THANKS also to our partners who build, and supply the other components for the completion of the 72... TNT Landing Gear, GLhobbies, and National Balsa.... A special Thanks to Jan and Mike Bell at Fun Aero RC for producing excellent laser-cut short kits for both Airplanes.
Since January 20th 2006 when the first short kit and plans were shipped the response has been more than we had hoped for. Many scratch-builders are totally satisfied with plans, laser-cut parts, and how the airplane is constructed.
The 502-72 is an "almost" scale version of the AT502-100 which we have been shipping for about four years now.... wing span on the 502-72 is 72". From the profile view it is exactly 72% of the popular 100" Air Tractor. Prototype One weighs 10.5 pounds and flies great on a Saito 100 4-stroke.
Engine Options from Builders...
Great ideas for Engine options are coming in from all over the place... builders are mounting everything from OS 70 4-stroke to 120 4-strokes with pump, and even a few are planing to use the new Saito 125 for extreme vertical performance.
As with the 100" the Construction Photo CD with around 450 photos of the building process, approx. 80 photos of the Full Scale, and a 17-page builder's manual is included with the Plans at no additional charge.
The Short Kit is priced separately as we have done with the 100". We price the short kit separately because some scratch-builders who enjoy cutting out all the pieces from the plans do not need the laser-cut short kit.
Fiberglass Parts...
Cowlings and Canopies are available from G & L Hobbies in Cookeville, Tennessee. Landing gear and Wing Tube set are available from TNT Landing Gear in Swanton, Ohio. A completetion Wood package is available from National Balsa.
