Gene Soucy's Showcat
The Showcat is a highly modified Grumman Ag Cat
biplane powered by a Pratt & Whitney 985 engine. This former
crop sprayer had its hopper removed, the top of the fuselage was
redesigned, and it got a new rear cockpit, engine cowling, dorsal
fin and turtle deck.
|
The Ag Cat was first designed in 1958 and over 1800 Cats are in use
throughout the world. The aircraft carries on the Grumman tradition
of a strong over-built airframe and has the best pilot safety record
in the ag business. |
