A Cropduster in GTA San Andreas.
Vehicle type	Civilian fixed-wing aircraft
Body style	Bi-plane
Appearance(s)	GTA San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto V

The Cropduster is a fixed-wing airplane in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V

Description

The Cropduster, as its namesake suggests, is a plane intended to spray pesticides over a large area in a small amount of time. Pressing the action/sub-mission button will activate the plane's pesticides (although the pesticides themselves serve no real purpose).

Performance

The plane has a short take-off time and slow top speed which makes it unable to gain a large amount of altitude in a short period of time, and the slow rolling of the plane leaves the maneuverability much to be desired. However, the slow speed and the turning ability of the rear rudder of the plane allows it to turn far more quickly than most other "slow" planes allowing it to bank more effectively, making up for its poor maneuverability.

Like other planes, it has little to no endurance and is highly susceptable to damage, and like other propeller planes, it will stall when the player attempts to fly it vertically.

Design

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

In GTA San Andreas the Cropduster resembles a Grumman Ag Cat Cropduster.

Grand Theft Auto V

A Cropduster appears in the Trailer of GTA V. Unlike the previous rendition, the cropduster resembles a Stearman PT-17 with the vertical stabilizer and cowl of a Stearman 4.

Locations

• On the top of the hill in Flint County sandwiched by Foster Valley and The Farm.

  

• Parked near a building to the north of Hunter Quarry and south of Octane Springs in Bone County, parked near some static caravans.

  

Trivia

• A Cropduster was seen in the trailer for Grand Theft Auto V.
• Despite the fact that the Cropduster is equipped with a spraying system located under the wings, the pesticides are ejected out of the rear of the plane in a similar fashion to the Stuntplane.
• Cropdusters are a rare sight in the sky, although they are most frequently seen in the country and rural areas, close to farms around the coast of San Fierro bay such as Blueberry Acres and The Panopticon.
• Like other planes that tilt upwards when parked (such as the Stuntplane, Nevada and Rustler) the plane will roll backwards when the Cars drive on water cheat is enabled.
