Different variants of Herks have carried a lot of things on the outboard hard points. ECM pods, helo A/R Pods, Marine Harvest Hawk, AF Lightning Pods for example. Does anyone know what the limitations are for the outboard hard points. I know that Sargent Fletcher makes pylons that are good for 1,300 pounds, but A models could carry 450 gallons out there (@6.5 lbs a gal that is 2,925 lbs plus the weight of the tank). As a secondary, does anyone know what models have hard points. I know all MCs, HCs ECs do. I was told that all Js have em but most B's, E's and H's don't.

Hello Everyone,
Different variants of Herks have carried a lot of things on the outboard hard points. ECM pods, helo A/R Pods, Marine Harvest Hawk, AF Lightning Pods for example. Does anyone know what the limitations are for the outboard hard points. I know that Sargent Fletcher makes pylons that are good for 1,300 pounds, but A models could carry 450 gallons out there (@6.5 lbs a gal that is 2,925 lbs plus the weight of the tank). As a secondary, does anyone know what models have hard points. I know all MCs, HCs ECs do. I was told that all Js have em but most B's, E's and H's don't.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
