That aint the half of it. Sadly, that's always the problem working out of the P-hawk. Things are a little better now with the external gun mounts/ammo bins but she still just was never reallydesigned for CSAR. She is a hotrod though and built like a brick Sh%$ house.
Gino,
PM sent. The only problems I see are that the stokes is too wide and when we use a single internal aux fuel tank she's always mounted on the left side of the acft. Never seen it on the right side. Consequently the hole remaining on the right side is where the gear rack is installed and where we store the penetrator and raft. that way they're close to the hoist side and FEs station. Most of the gear bags we use are orange or yellow (MA-1, raft, etc.). Front office looks great! The ammo bins look good and I sent a good pic of the top in the PM so you can modify her a little. It shows both link/belt driver motors/chutes on the front/top (staggared a little) and then how they're connected to the two driverless chutes (no motor) at the top rear of the bins. That's how they feed from the entire bin....you'll see what I mean when you see the pic. The PM also has some good shots of additional plumbing above the aux fuel tank if you want to make it a little more "busier" up there. Fire extinguisher bottles are actually that lime yellow color. The backboard is fine how ya got it, but we generally stow it inside the stokes (saves room). I know if ya did that you wouldn't be able to show it off as well and it does look good, but your call.
Sorry brutha not trying to be a butthead but I know how much of a stickler to details you are so that's why I figured I'd give ya the nine-line brief. She is lookin mighty dang sweet though.
