Guest CHEVY II Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 To all who've ever used an Ag-Nav during Aerial Application, what was your general feeling towards it? What were your favorite options, what weren't, and what in your opinion would make it better? Has anyone used the Ag-Nav III yet? Thx, in advance! :up: Quote
Guest CHEVY II Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 Not a real popular item apparently!!! Quote
skullcap Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 Sorry Man, The last agnav thing I used was watching the end of the cultivator behind my Dad's 8630 John Deere. sc :up: Quote
Guest CHEVY II Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 What thing, that Ag-Nav 1?

What's the rest of the world using while spraying? Quote

Rotorhead Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 I've seen spray pilots go through a tonne of flags in a spray season. It's all in the training. If you use proper references and plan your block well, the only time you will need something other than your eyes and brain is when it is a very large block without interior visual boundaries (ie. windrows, roads, cliffs, etc.). At 75 cents a flag, it can get mighty expensive when you have someone with an itchy trigger finger. Although it's fun to try for targets like grizzleys or engineers. (The shot below was taken a few seconds before my trusted AME could avoid the Automatic Flagman turban he wore just as the 212 came in behind.) Ahh, back when flying was fun... The flags do make great toilet paper in the bush, expensive as they are. RH Quote
