O.K. CJ I like that. Think I'll order my Bazooka while the line is still short.

Forget the leading edges, put 'em on the bottom of the cowl (ala A-10) and time 'em to fire between blades!!

CJ, I expect a full write up on the pito static hardware you decided to go with. And for the record, I don't condone the use of that weapon in your wing, couldn't you have gone with a rotating barrel or something? :smash:

During my first assignment in the Air Force, I worked with a grizzled B-52 pilot who had been stationed at a SAC base in the upper midwest - somplace with lots of ranches and cattle.

While there, he and a friend owned an old Champ and one day came up with a great idea. They clamped welding rods on the lift struts, pointing forward, then got a bunch of cheap Estes rockets, slid 'em on the welding rods, and ran the launch wires into the cockpit. They then proceeded to make rocket attack runs on poor unsuspecting cows. :good job:

I think something like that would work well on your RV, CJ!
