OK, How do you get it to spray? I feel stupid here. I tried at all the controls including that handle next the the flap handle. (Boy, I haven't used a read honest to god flap handle in a loooong time.) Nothing, nada, zero spray.

I went to the Alabeo site but they have no forums on which to ask. Went to the Facebook page and all I found were groupies talking about how "pretty" the plane was and begging for other ag-planes.

Use the "i" key. That works.

Thanks Stan. I will do just that.

...the handle should work , just make sure you are flying the version that has the spray booms off the trailing edge. I think I had trouble at first and used the "i' key and that seemed to wake it up .

is it possible that Alabeo will do the rev.1 including all the small issues coming out in the forums and a complete instruction manual ?

I'm really enjoying flying this airplane. My problem has nothing to do with the airplane. I have trouble staying over the "right" field.

I have a friend who flies one in real life. He told me that he puts in just a small bit of down trim while working. He said it is easier to pull up a little as needed rather than pushing the stick forward to keep the airplane at the right height over the field. He also said that he puts in one notch of flaps as he approaches the field and leaves it there while working the field.

The little bit of down trim sure worked great when flying my RC Piper Pawnee before I swapped it for a Piper Super Cub.

Very nice findings, thanks. They offer great insight.

it is easier to fly the WDE version instead of the dispersal version with the hopper=0

...but it has to do with ag flying. The member of my RC Club who also flies real world ag planes told us yesterday that he will not be going up to Indianna this year as the drought, hot weather, etc., has resulted in not much work.

Hi,Im thinking about the new repaint of C188 but in camuflage.
One, very interesting is in USA like RAF camuflage scheme. Registration of this AG Wagon/ AG Husky is N585IG (DFS) but I have problem to find more pictures of this bird with interesting repaint (Google dosent help).
Maybe someone noticed more photos or is a owner of this C188 / or have more photos ?
