+Steve s Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 View File Recon pod Orpheus-Dutch version- This pod was made in Netherland under request of Koninklijke Nederlandese Luchtmacht(KLu),because of the unsatisfactory performances of the RF-104G. It entered in service in 1974 with the F-104G of the 306° Squadron based at Volkel Air Base. Submitter Steve s Submitted 10/16/2008 Category Single Ordnance Files Quote
Kirsten Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Mille grazie Steve. Good looking piece of work it is !! And it was used extensively by the 306 Sq F16's too in later years. I think even the BAF used a couple of them on their Vipers after retiring their recce Mirage V's... And thanks a lot for the 306 Starfighter skin too , Aju, Derk Quote
FrankD Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 About the specifications, if "www.ailes-militaires-belges.be" is correct, the weight is right on the spot but the dimensions are a bit off. It would be from: Mass=350.000000 Diameter=0.320000 Length=2.449000 to: Mass=350.000000 Diameter=0.470000 Length=3.750000 http://www.ailes-militaires-belges.be/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=232:recce&catid=48&Itemid=328 PS: Yeah, I got it!

+FastCargo Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 If you do that, the 'pod' may not 'hang' or load properly. Did you test this first? FC Quote
FrankD Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Hello FastCargo, yes I did and didn't noticed any issue. Are you aware of any problem? Quote
