Did Stearmen ever have canopies in military service, maybe in cold climates, like the Tiger Moth in Canada?

Rats - why won't anything work properly first time?
yes is the short answer -Originally Posted by dhasdell
my understanding is that the chem hopper is in front of the pilot position, in what would otherwise be the front or forward cockpit. Behind the pilot would be too far aft for the CG. The weight
of the pesticide/weed killer is significant...
The spinner is probably typical of and part of the prop assembly... Lot's of variables available on the market from what I know of.
Thank you. I never knew that. Actually, the canopy looks very similar to the Tiger Moth's. Is it a version we can hope for sometime?

Is there much weight in it? I am wondering if its there for streamlining or CG balance?
The NZ Fletcher's have a rear hopper location for top dressing.

Here is the AG version in the clean configuration which is the default upon loading. Working on whether or not I can provide the option for stock wings in the config manager. I think so. Stand by.

I would definitely appreciate a sprayer/duster with the stock wings.

Looks like modification of Duster version.

Awesome! Stearmans was a workhorse... training, barnstorming, crop dusting, and forest service.
Well looky here... a model of Bradley's floater.
Sometimes modelers have good resources for painting.
What a beauty, why I painted one like this... love the red and gold!

Beautiful Stearman... All of them!!
Bunch of Stearmans in this movie. The Aviator with Christopher Reeve. Now I just have to find my copy and watch again!
Painted up one of these movie planes also.

Btw.
please to add external 3D model of pilot in cockpit from beginning (not like with PT-17 package) and in configurator "remove pilot" as option (so opposite from now).
I take off always without the pilot(when I dont open external views).

lol - I've done this a few times too...when trying to stay 'in the cockpit' for immersion sake
big n' dusty
It is now fully configurable. Its default is clean open cockpit with stock wings
Other configurations as the user wishes
Easy enough to do. Will consider it for all models in the final release. Thanks However one should always do an exterior walk around before entering the cockpit, then one would not forget the properly configure the aircraft for flight (including the pilot)Btw.

Is your pic a sprayer with the booms removed?
Were any Stearman's used to top dress super phosphate?

Retired Stearman Duster with it's spraying equipment removed and sometime later converted back to two seater.
Far as I know it was the Tiger Moth's in NZ if that's what you are asking.

I think the Tiger Moth looks like a sprayer.
I was thinking more along the lines of powdered superphosphate distribution from a hopper, such as carried out by these Deane Baunton Fletchers, but from a Stearman.

However, here is a Wikipedia extract about aerial top dressing - its genesis appears to have been by way of dropping seed into a swamp from a tethered hot air balloon.
