But the fact is that he did mount a centerline tank, among other things. And DCORSAIR's experience, thought not as disastrous, was similarly unstable. So perhaps not specific, but definitely more relevant - especially when the tank stays with the plane! :)

I actually had a really similar experience as you when I put the centerline tank on my FMS Super Hornet. All of the wing ordnance is fine, but as soon as I put that center on, it gets really wonky. I simply just don't fly with it.

This is all good information I think. Yes, it remains to be seen what the trend will be with the 90mm but there are mixed views on its smaller brother. I have not seen discussion like this around the F-4 or others. Clearly a solid mount and proper alignment are important but some airframes could also be more sensitive, yet manageable, than others to what hangs under them and where.

When you do think you might be able to test it out?

Hey Bobaroo, I willing to try it again and learn from you on this , so if you don't mind and don't take this the wrong way please, post a good pic of what your talking about on how you mount your tanks, put it into simple terms for us simple minded people, looking at the pictures you posted I can't make heads or tails out of what your trying to show? A nice clear side shot of one of your jets with a drop tank mounted would be nice.

Dedicated to you DC and the pioneering work you've done in here with the nearly 3 pages of discussion 'You've' singlehandedly manage to generate with your Reckless Disregard for Common Sense and Decency by flying with a BellyTank on your Hornet !!! Hahahahaha I'll call it the DC Mod !! Cheers

I assume that your hand is also holding the inverter circuit/module. Is it 12V? How much current does it draw? And what is its operating temperature? Does the inverter power only one strip of that size, or can it handle multiple strips?
