@@crosswindaviationservicesl9022 Thank you much for the reply! I envy your profession as it is filled with challenges as well as much enjoyment I'm sure. Safe flying my friend and thanks again.

You are very correct! Physically tiring for sure, but mentally exhausting! I put 235 hrs in my logbook in just the month of July. Those days get LONG!!

I understand but you should thank's the life for the chance you have to do that job. Not like working 12hres a day in a shop with peoples you mostly don't want to be with.

lol I was thinking the same thing! Getting paid for doing this = a w e s o m e n e s s

not as fun as you think

Flying low has its dangers, for sure! Flying, as with many things in life, has a lot to do with risk vs. reward. Utility flying is very risky, but if there is a mission being accomplished, sometimes it’s worth taking that risk.

This was only 10ac sprayed at 5 gpa. I can easily carry 50 gal in one trip. We don't trailer the aircraft so it would've had to fly there anyway. I loaded before I left and saved a trip on the truck.

Those were very lazy turns. Small field with lots of obstacles so I try to keep things as "calm" as possible. In a large open field environment, I can get my turns (right or left) down to 6 seconds. I predominantly use the "skip" pattern and skip 1 row each pass. This allows the turns to be natural and keeps me from flying through any spray material.

I am no longer spraying. Still flying helicopters as well as airplanes at a commercial level, just not ag. I’m always willing to talk anything aviation. Feel free to ask anything!

@@nathanschrock6017 can I get a regular helicopter license and do this or do I have to go get my plane license to do this as well?

This was only 10 acres and I could carry it all in one load. No reason for my truck to drive over there just to watch me do it.

I have found that the easiest way to record cockpit audio was with an iRig adapter plugged into an iPhone/iPad. You'll just need a U174 to 6mm audio cable and you're good to go. Your friendly avionics tech might help you with this for a six-pack. With this simple set up, your iPhone can hear everything you can hear. ATC + Cockpit. Then just add the audio track from your iPhone when you're editing your vids. www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irig2/ (I have the iRig 1, but I assume the iRig2 will work just as well)

Less than $200

Nathan Schrock so about a $1000 per hour?

Nathan Schrock how can you afford to stay in business by charging $200 and ferrying that far to the field?

Brad Schrenk, it’s a 50gal job once a week that I do to help out. It’s a small farm and the owner lady can’t physically spray her own berries. I make up for it on the other 38,000 ac I spray during the fungicide season.

Crosswind Aviation Services, LLC That is honorable and I’m sure she is thankful. Way to go!

Spraying a fungicide / insecticide mix

@@crosswindaviationservicesl9022 Biological or chemical stuff?

Huh?

It is not clear what he is spraying, since crop dusting are used in organic farms as well.

I’m impressed! Please comment with a link to the video! I know drones are getting better and better all the time but I haven’t seen one that could apply 5 GPA to 10ac in 6.5 min let alone have a payload of 420lbs to carry the 50gal of product necessary. Eager to see what you’re flying!
