One of the fun things to do with a scale plane is to drop bombs (not real ones if the FAA or Transport Canada are listening). These are somewhat disposable as they do not last too long but it is great fun to put a bulls eye on the runway and see who can come the closest. There has even been the odd wager made on this to add to the excitement. Anyway these pylons are simple and have a very small servo in them that releases the bomb (hopefully) when the switch on the transmitter is thrown. I am just getting them ready for paint and mounting to the wing center section. More pictures later.
Here is a short video of this Corsair at last years air show. Note on the landing at the end my tail wheel steering cable had broken and the tail wheel was hard over. Why is it that when your flight is videoed something always happens. LOL :)
