could not dup Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I\'m hope someone out there has a sling for a Nose random. We\'re currently getting the new apn 241 mod,(Low power radar) and we don\'t have a sling for mounting the nose. (no more apn 59 Has anyone ever used this, the T.o. Calls for using a dolly, or the sling. the dolly looks like a big bulky item. Really don\'t need anymore of those lying around the AGE yard. I know your going to ask, how did we hang it last time? Answer-- The wrong way. Not following tec data. It\'s kinda funny, we received our new nose for our MC, and everything looks good, when they hung it, they found out it was a nose for an AC, apparently they are very close in size and almost the same, The only difference is by the Flir ball. the crate was missed marked. imagine that, a wrong part in the box. Now the mod team is leaving us, and where going to have to hang the darn thing our selves when it issues. Right now, there are no available slings in supply.- We\'ve checked. We can local fab it, but I would like to see one, plus it might take a bit of time to fab it. If anyone has an extra one? or could loan one to me, so our fab shop can duplicate it, it would really be appreciated. Please help-- if you can.

tinyclark Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I have the drawing for the regular C130 radome sling. Maybe with a little modification, you can make it fit yours. Just let me know, I\'ll need a good email address, so message me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyclark Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 You know, back that long ago in Germany, crew chiefs took the Radome off for us, so I don\'t remember what was used. We had a stand/dolly at Pope, the \'Dorf and Ramstein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donwon Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 From the best of my memory (which isn\'t much after 41 years) we used people power. I was only on the\" A\" models and don\'t know about the newer planes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I think the dolly is the best way to go, even if it means another bulky item in the AGE yard. If you have some odd-ball radome shapes, the boards/pads are pretty easily modified. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
