anyone has experience flying the FB Rafale with external tanks. I have flown mine with rails and missiles without issue, but i don't know what to expect with the tanks, furthermore, i find their attaching methode to be weak somehow.
I don't even want to think of the possibility to have one of attaching points give up during flight... It would be a total disaster!!!
Regards.

I used the dowel method on my F4 but I improvised. I grinded off the paint to the fiberglass and then drilled holes about 1/2" appart all along where the pilon mounts. Also did the same on the bottom of the pilons. I then glued both surfaces with Hysol and secured it all down with wood screws in the dowels. The wing would rip in half before they come off!
