Does anyone know a good place to access informaton on the latest theories or any recent investigations relating to spray patterns, nozzles, aircraft setup, variable rates, up/down/crosss/nil wind etc.

Thanks in advance.

This should be interesting ??? Micronair vs nozzle, cp vs flat fan, jarba or standard, dropped booms or standard, short booms or out to the end
I am sure you will get plenty of opinions and it will be interesting to watch
To answer your question Graham Barrett is a good place to start for info on spray patterns and aircraft setup also have a look on the web at the work done by dennis Gardisser in Arkansas

The most informative and productive pattern check and adjustment we have ever done was performed by CPASS. The information and the actuall presentation of data obtained from each pass is excellent. Dont knock it untill you have tried it.

Angus, your question relates to the latest theories and investigations into pattern testing and for that it's hard to beat Dennis Gardisser as mentioned by Big Nasty.

Look for recent editions of AgairUpdate for some informative articles also his website at iflyag.com.
