Water drop effect-->some questions

[thunder100]

Hi all together

The idea is,without any promise, to make the effect like follows(was never tried before but may work)

Switch on istrument board(the I key) to trigger the effect
Starts the water drop effect(visual)
Starts rapid fuel dump(no visual) of an unconnected tank-->the water tank
-->so the weight changes rapidly
Trigger the opening of the water doors(Maybe the water rudder animation)

In order to do so some (many ) questions

What is water content of tank?
What is drop rate -->Liter/min or Liter sec?
Who does the switch look if there is any(as Hansi has to make)?
How many tanks (without water) will you use for the firetanker Milton?-->the next is the water tank

All the best

Regarding the tank release doors, having either 2 or 4 doors is no issue for me, but I will defer to what you can implement with effects.

Well I have been unable to find any information about drop rates but if these doors are correct then its a pretty fast transaction.

This is just a scale model but very well done.

Interesting Idea I can't wait to see it in action.

Neat site, story, and a great model Dave. Thank you for sharing.

Just a guesstimation, but given the small quantity and requirement for a sufficent concentration and aircraft speed, One second or less?

Looking to Videos I would say just a max of 3 seconds

But we may still find one which tells us the length
