FT Dropable series

[willsonman]

With the advent of the C-119 and the dropping of a bulldozer, I figured I would start a thread where others could post their dropable items/creations. Playing on the "Swapable" line, the "Dropable" line is the same. You can use them on multiple planes (if you dare) and are easy to replace. Parachutes or not parachutes? Up to the designer! So bring on the dropables!

My entry to the dropable line is what I call the FT Ordinance. I will be releasing a build video soon. Its a dropable item for target practice! I have a huge fascination with divebombers of WWII and this will help me to continue to practice my drops at different angles, speeds, winds, etc. For others it would just be a fun gag. My design employs an easy reload with a magnet system. I've been using it for years now. Works very well and have no issues. As I build my FT Storch I will be building this in.

One of my fave things to drop is these:

I carry three of them up and try to drop them onto my friends while they are flying.

 

[CrashRecovery]

They have used them before on ft

The nerf darts are lots of fun too. You can easily drop about 20 or 30 of them at one time

I think a can of soda will drop nicely. If you have something hard for it to hit it will make a nice splash. If you try this please be careful.

 

[willsonman]

Not my best work but here it is anyways

 

[Sahara54]

That would be perfect on a Stuka...Well done.

Fat Boy?

 

[willsonman]

Not really templated after anything special. More or less after WWII era allied ordinance.

I'm guessing the tail cone is score cut not cut so the way through.
Or is it ?

Eggs work rather nicely, albiet pretty messy

 

[willsonman]

See the build video. Not really either as it's made from card stock.

Eggs are great ammo. (Especially rotten ones).
