Agri Duck
A friendly tribute to the agricultural duster biplane category — the workmanlike low-and-slow flyer of twentieth-century crop work.
About
The Agri Duck is a tribute to the agricultural-aviation tradition that has been part of American skies since the 1920s. The category itself is real and storied — Stearman PT-17s converted from military trainers to crop work, the Grumman Ag-Cat, and the rugged Air Tractor monoplanes that dominate the modern industry — and the small biplane silhouette is the visual shorthand most people associate with the role.
The recipe for a duster biplane is unmistakable. A single radial engine for reliability, generous wing area for maneuverability at the low altitudes the work demands, conventional tailwheel landing gear, and the kind of robust airframe that can absorb the constant cycle of low-altitude turns and pull-outs without complaint. Color schemes lean toward bright and high-visibility — yellow, orange, red and white.
The duster category has a romantic streak in popular culture out of proportion to its commercial scale, and the unmistakable duster-biplane silhouette appears in countless foam and balsa scale-aerobatic kits sold by online RC retailers.
In the simulator
A friendly low-and-slow flyer. The biplane wing pair gives generous low-speed authority. A sibling of the Agri Duck Duster (CV Planes Pack 1) and Mud Duck (CV Planes Pack 5) — three crop-duster tribute models across the catalog.
