  • A few days ago i had an opportunity to film something that i never have before... some agricultural aviation action! 4 PZL-Mielec M-18 Dromader crop dusters and 2 An-2s were used in a mosquito control action in the fields and areas around and in Belgrade. In this video i will only focus on the Dromader, An-2 will come in some upcoming videos.
    Anyways, it is not an everyday thing to see radial piston engines in action. Nearly 1000hp of pure, earth shaking power! The pilots were very kind to let me film from so up close, and inside one of the planes.
    Enjoy in this amazing sound, and quite an interesting sight!

    I started firebombing in radial Droms. Now turbine Garrett powered, the performance is up but the character of the piston radial is gone.
    Excellent machine for ag work too and I enjoyed that too. Every radial start was like waking a living beast.
    A bit heavy on the controls and very trim sensitive but overall, a wonderful experience and a good safe workhorse.
    Much respect for Eastern Block aircraft. Tough as nails.

    2000 liters capacity in the hopper. Cockpit cage stressed to about 20 Gs. Ag pilots the world over are the best. My first real job was loading ag chemicals and fueling a Rockwell Thrush Commander. Nothing like those old radial engined beasts. Don’t see many with radials anymore-turboprops have largely replaced them. The bird I serviced had a 600 hp radial from a T-6 trainer.

    Good for that old man. I am seventy and he looks old enough to be my twin brother. Nice video of him doing what he has been around doing for most likely a lot of years and quite possibly in that same plane. Showing him doing flyby after flyby at 300-400+ feet on the same run over the airfield turning his sprayers on and off was a nice little tribute.
    The marvel of it all is that he is still around and still climbing in the cockpit and flying around. Only in Serbia maybe. He nor the plane could probably pass on an annual while insurance and the paperwork to operate would be impossible to obtain in a place like the U.S.

      Well there are still certain number of this version with radial engine. This is Russian type, same is at Antonov-2 But there are more turbo propeller versions. You can recognize them by a very long nose, as this type of engine is much lighter, so in order to keep the center of gravity you must move lighter engine more forward. Otherwise construction of wings and fuselage is unchanged.

      Thanks for getting back to me.

      @@vumba1331 you’re welcome. I think that the issue was that as the hopper filled, it pushed the C/G aft. Because it was so deep, it had more of an effect than say an Air Tractor. The forward part of the hopper was pretty straight up and down. The aft portion sloped aft so the fuller it got, the further aft the C/G went. It was a weird sensation. I finally had to contact someone with a lot of experience in the airplane to find out how to turn it when it was full. Without full flaps you were pretty cross controlled. With full flaps (20 degrees) it was no problem at all. The flaps were operated electrically and actuated hydraulically. The switch was under your left thumb on the throttle lever. Once you were used to it, it worked quite well. Pull up off the field and start your turn while simultaneously going to full flaps. As you’re rolling back in on your next run, dump the flaps and move your hand to the spray handle.

      @@mdbryan9525 Nothing like experience before getting into the business, you would be quite busy during a run to get it right!
      Om low wing aircraft lowering the flaps tends to lift the tail and drop the nose, it does on my microlight, so perhaps when you drop the flaps it moves the centre of gravity/balance forward making the aircraft more stable. Having an aft C of G is not a nice way to fly.
      So, does the aircraft pitch nose down when the flaps are deployed?
