RE: functional drop tanks?
Hello gents,
My YA F-18 Hornet, single engine version, has a 16 oz scale drop tank. It is the fibreglass tank from Yellow Aircracraft sealed up and made fuel proof. It uses one of those old style bomb relaeases. So, I can drop it after takeoff at the edge of the runway. It brings up my fuel load to 74 oz. 57 internal and 16+ external. Nice long flights.
You slow right down and fly low to release the tank. Neat show off item.
