This video was shot in 2015 when I was flying Ag Cats in NE Arkansas. This is a Grumman B model Ag Cat that was widened 14" so they could stuff a 500 gallon hopper in it. The Fat Cat mod is an STC and the modification required an entirely new frame and also a few other parts specific to the Fat Cat like the 14" wider center wing section and 41" wide gatebox at the bottom of the hopper. This was a good working plane but did not fly nearly as good as the standard B model because the 14" increase in width, only in the hopper area, made for some interesting flying characteristics. The Fat Cats were not as dynamically stable and if you took your hand off the stick for long it could go any direction. These were powered with 715shp Garrett TPE-331-6's
