Yeoman Aviation Cropmaster Drawings
 

The aircraft:

The Cropmaster was a further development of the Kingsford Smith Aviation Services KS-3 Cropmaster (itself an agricultural conversion of the CAC Wackett Trainer), featuring a major redesign and retaining only the steel-tube fuselage frame of the CAC Wackett.

The Cropmaster went through several developments during its service life, the final version featuring an all-metal wing and all-metal empennage.

The drawings:
