Help wanted, placement of ALQ-131!!

bk974 · by **bk974** » 26 Dec 2009, 19:34

I am building an RNoAF f-16, and will have an ALQ-131 on station 5. Here is the question. Is the pod simply put on the pylon for the centerline tank? Is the pylon placed on this pylon with an adapter? Or does it have its own special pylon that goes on station 5?

Hoping for a quick answer...

The -131 pod has its own special adapter.

ECM Pod adapters are required for F-16 A/B aircraft, due to ground clearance issues...however, some 131 pods could be flown on C/D models with the universal C/L adapter or the ECM Pod adapter. For your build, you will have to use the ECM pod adapter to be accurate.

Best Regards,
