The design of the AT502-72 is finally finished. We will be posting more photos on this page in the future. This model has been slow in coming to completion, but seems to have been a very worthwhile project. Prototype ONE now has approx. 150 flights on it, and is just a wonderful flyer.
So far, 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 going together.
The 502-72 is an "almost" scale version of the AT502-100 which we have been shipping for about two 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 weighs 10 pounds and flies great on a Saito 100 4-stroke.
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 will be included with the Plans at no additional charge. The Short Kit will be separate as we have done with the 100"
