Guys,

I'm curious, how do you store / carry your planes ordnance to the field? I have a F-18F with 8 missiles and 3 tanks to carry and mount to the field[X(]

Thanks

No trailer here[&o]

Actually I'm just thinking about using a bag or maybe to make some kind of box so that they are not bouncing around in my car. Those little fins are somewhat fragile.

Hey Edgar,
If you are thinking on making a low pass at high speed like I did this past sunday. Don't have to worry too much about those litte fragile fins. I know the perfect way to conserve that ordnace intact. Do not use them.[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

Great idea for transporting the extra goodies. Which F-18 F and have you flown it yet? I would be interested in seeing flight video with the ordnance attached, and also hearing how it handles with the added weight/drag.
