lanier f-4 phantom question
I doubt that I a better builder than anyone in here James. It just happens I'm in the RAF (Airframe Engineer)and have access to people who have certain skills. In this case our survival equipment fitters made me a small brake chute and I made the mechanism from a few bits that were lying around the workshop, and a piece of plastic pipe. The shackle attaches onto where the hook should be. It's just an experiment at the moment, I'm not fussed about it being too scale like. I'll borrow a digi camera and send you a pic.
On the weight side I've put an 'Irvine 53' on the front, so I need a bit of weight down the back. Also put a 'Ripmax' mini strobe on mine. It's real bright!

P.S Has anybody made a set of drop tanks for their F-4 yet?
