Phantom Bomb Pylon Right One

[ruddy122]

Something Insidious is Happening

If you launch GND Weapons from Right Pylon

Autopilot could handle assymetry but once the A/P disengaged be ready to Trim

Doesn't happen on CFT release or Centerline Release

Lucky

Last time I dropped GBU-12s from the CFTs, I could definitly notice a slight rolling to one side.

So not sure what you are on about.

Best is to attach a track.

Or maybe I just don't understand what you are trying to describe.

Launch from the Wing Pylons see what happens

It didn't roll before it was noticeable

The TGP is heavier by around 130lbs than the NVP

I still don't get what you are trying to say.

I dropped a Mk84 from the right wing and a left roll started as expected.

Besides, the TGP and NVP are much closer to the center, so that effect of assymetry is not a really big impact, especially not with only 130lbs.

Sounds like it barfed

I'll try again tonight

I had control problems with GBU-24 do you have that?

GBU-10 OK

Yes, you have to trim more if you release a weapon further away from the center of the plane.

What kind of control problems? 

 

[ruddy122]

Only happens with GBU-24s, GBU-10s fine

What happens is I launch GBU-24's from the Side Pylons and the A/P hacks it but once the A/P is off it rolls right

Strange other munitions don't do that

[razo+r]

I cannot confirm. In both attempts, after disengaging the AP, the aircraft does a roll to the left side after the drop of either the GBU-24 or GBU-10 from the right wing pylon.

Attach a short track of your issue.

Weird right

I'll drop GBU-10/24 from CFT and Center Pylon and put GBU 500 pounders on the wing

I'll put a short track if it happens again

got my Left and Right confused

I remember trimming right wing down to compensate
