Ordnance
 
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.

I blanket wrap mine in a big box (the one Skymaster sent)

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.:D I know the perfect way to conserve that ordnace intact. Do not use them.[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

Well I got myself a solution. Some plastic tray, foam and lots of thinking[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

Still need some soft foam and I'm done:D

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.

Fei Bao. Maiden this Sunday. Won't try the ordnance until I got several flights on it.
