Super Cub Tube-O-Fun bomb drop mod

Wow, this thread went down hill like a poo bomb dropped from a super cup... 
Nice one teach... You inspired me to straighten out the wing on my Tuff Trainer and add a simple bomb drop mechanism...
YES!!!!!!
Oh, and to address the issue of my intended target being mad about all of this, I'm talking about harassing a guy who, last year, would regularly bring in HUGE industrial sized rolls of cellophane rap. He would randomly, yet regularly completely wrap this one teacher's Ford F-150 extended cab. He probably would only have done it one time had the truck owner not gotten a bit bent out of shape about it.
One of his favorite little tricks to do to me while I am flying is to glide his Sky Surfer silently from behind me and nail the throttle no more than 2 feet above my head. So, if this pisses him off, it actually will make the whole thing funnier. I can then tease him for being a baby about it. God, I love my friends!

This sounds exactly like my friends. If one of us crashes and has to go out on the gym floor to recover our plane, everyone else immediately dive bombs him with our ultra micros. Ryan and I tend to buzz each other while flying anyway. I bent down to pick up my 4-Site last year and he ran his micro T-28 from my neck all the way down my back like a runway. I laughed so hard I could barely stand up and he laughed so hard he crashed. Bet he couldn't do it again in a million years.
Yep! We were chasing each other the other day with toilet paper taped to our planes. He hit mine and we both started laughing so hard that we both crashed. He crashed into my car.
Wing hard points
The wing racks are done. These are capable of holding 12 Nerf darts per wing. The racks will be held on by rare earth magnets, therefore easily removable. Release is via a servo holding a rubber band across the darts. The other end of the rubber band will be attached to the wing strut attachment point. I don't use the struts since flattening the wing. Nothing left to do but test it out, now!

After seeing your bomb drop, i decided to build my own! I put it on my Fenix 150 because it can carry a heavy load. It is just simply made out of foam board. I use one strip of Velcro so i can easily remove it. THe door opens up when the servo arm is moved 180* and the cargo's weight causes it to fall through. It is just big enough to hold 3 golf balls. THe bomb drop is very effective and light weight! I hope you all like it!

That is sweet, man! Love it!
That's mild for "the target." He has some good stories. One involves having convinced a night club owner he flew into town to consider buying the club and drinking for free all night. Another involves him deciding it would be a good idea to swim in the Susquehanna River in the wee hours in the morning in February. Suffice to say, wet clothes only hinder a person when you want to walk home afterward.

RCD that is a cool idea I just might try that one myself
LOL I will have to remeber the night club trick
Dude- Your gonna need bigger wheels
Are the nerf darts gonna be rubberbanded? or what is your release mechanism.

Golf Balls! OUCH! And the guys I fly with start flinching everytime my Supecub flies over
They'd REALLY hate me if I started dropping golf balls on them

I just use the golf balls for precision bombing. I wouldn't dare drop them on a person! Lol
Ninja, I'm not rollin' on 50's like you. Mine are merely 2-3/4".
Yep, the darts, and whatever else I can stick under the wings, will be held on by a rubber band. That is attached at one end to the strut attachment point and a servo on the other. The servo arm will hold the rubber band in place until activated. Then the arm will rotate and the rubber band slips off.

Size matters
Remember- Track the plane not the bombs!
I hope you can capture some video.
I am most worried about watching the planes vs bombs. How can I not watch the carnage?
