In looking over the fuselage plans for my Onex it looks like there is room for a bomb bay in the tail cone box between the first and second bulkhead.

How much fun would it be to go on a low and slow bombing run with a few 2-3 pound sacks of flour? :lol:

Weight and balance shouldn't be an issue with the 20 lb baggage area allowance. But what about the integrity of the fuselage structure with a large opening in the floor? Could it be reinforced? What about a rush of air into the aft fuselage? Would it matter or could it be deflected? Would elevator or rudders controls be in the way?

Thoughts please.

I would go with an external bomb. Most Onex bombing missions should be short range not requiring the drag advantage of internal storage.

Careful of the FAR's on dropping stuff overboard. Just a thought.

-- You want to modify an aircraft in such a way that packages can be dropped easily and so that the carrying of said packages remains hidden to external observation? Hmmm. If your computer is operating a bit slowly, it may be because DEA and/or CBP are taking an interest in your activities. And maybe you'll even get some help on your next preflight! :)

I would have went with nylon gears. Clever idea though.
