305 swag Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Hello, does this kit allow you to add the single sidewinder launchers or are you stuck using the Y launchers? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Maclean Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Unfortunately, I think you're stuck with the Y Launcher from what I can see in my kit Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the kit already has separate rails that attach to the Y shaped pylon. I would think scratching or sourcing a single pylon would be fairly straightforward Edit I got a look at a set on e-bay, looking at the back of the rail. Can these be mounted directly, or do they need a pylon to mount to? Edited November 24, 2021 by eoyguy stuey57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill M. Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 And actually, the Trumpeter Y- launcher racks aren’t correct. They were asymmetrical, not symmetrical as Trumpeter provides. I have long desired to have an aftermarket correct set of y-launcher mounts and rails. Some have said they would consider some, but nothing has appeared on the market yet. Still hoping though!

Dave Roof Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Working on the single mount adapter for the LAU-7 now. Hope to have something available by the end of the day. The single mount AERO-3B will be added to the line and uploaded to the web site within the next few hours.

Maybe a set of correct Y-rails too? Both will be most welcome! Bill M. Daniel Leduc, Mark P, 305 swag and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would only need one side I think, the problem being that they are symmetrical and shouldn't be. Would only need the one that's different than whats in the kit.

Finn Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 You could go with a mix: Jari Marcel111 and Dragon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizly Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 While not an expert on the subject, I simply used modified kit parts to replicate the single rail launcher. Now if I could only find a pair of Matra Magic missiles.... Lee White, GusM, Oldbaldguy and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
