Aerial application of fertilizer, Kiwi (New Zealand) style.
Love the sound of the 8 cylinder, horizontally opposed, Lycoming, engine.

Send him to Portland when your done.....

Not trying to be picky, but it's not a radial. As far as I know radials have an odd number of cylinders.

My bad! Silverod. You were right! I`ve made the correction.

Ant, there is a fella down at Warrnambool airport that does spraying and spreading with a plane. Does a good job. I had a fella come and do some spraying with a 4 wheeled motor bike. Put out uan, herbicide and fungicide and zinc. If you need any phone numbers just ask.

What do you think the fert is ? Single Super ?

To be even pickier, each row of a radial has an odd number of cylinders, but there can be multiple rows, resulting in an even number of cylinders. For example, on of the last radials was the Pratt & Whitney R4360 Wasp Major. 4 rows of 7, for 28 cylinders and 4362 cubic inches.

I thought latter I'd be picked up on that. I seen the corn cob radial . A beast

Man, it looks like the fertilizer is getting into everything on that plane, it's a flying fertilizer cloud . It must be dry down there or they go through allot of trouble to clean that plane up at the end of the day. I love the runway, right across a cattle guard, around here a cattle guard would knock the wheels off an airplane.

Yes!

Very fine for super? Have heard of RGR , sounded like ground limestone or something similar.

I don't get it. There was no reference to radial, the post said 8 cylinder Lycoming. Which is a flat horizontally opposed engine.

In the original post, I made the mistake of saying it was a radial piston, Ozzie.
I corrected the mistake.

Do you mean RPR, Arro?
At first I thought it could be reverted super, which is 75% super and 25% lime, but upon closer inspection that fert does not look granular at all.

Ok, I get it now. Thanks for explaining.
Amusingly Lycoming did actually make at least one radial that I know of.
The largest piston engine built, the 127L XR-7755.

Whoops, that should be largest piston AIRCRAFT engine. The largest piston engine was the Russian 144L Zvezda M503.

That is some engine, Ozzie!
Here`s a bit of info on the Fletcher FU 24 aircraft in the video.

and the similar looking Cresco aircraft, that has largely replaced it, now.
