TheBlueMax Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Does anyone know if anybody sells the screw-in NVG Battery Pack counter weights? I've only been able to find counter weight bags... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stract Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 our AFE shop has a drawer full of them (well, they used to, but since we all use them, they're all installed on our battery packs). Anywhoo, the takaway for you is that it's a kit that AFE needs to acquire, so talk to them. Also check their stash of battery packs, they may already be installed on a spare set hiding in a drawer. BTW, the bags are not authorized, only the screw-in battery pack-conformal weights are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainerModel Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 yea, your AFE is the way to go. What are you flying? Must be a rarity to wear them for you guys if you guys are using those things or don't have the battery pack screw-in weights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlueMax Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 CVs. No we wear them often; however, AFE has a backlog order of the screw in type [at KAFB competing with every other airframe to get counterweights.]. I kinda just want to buy some so I won't ever have to where a loaner pack without one. I honestly hate when our Darth-Vader helo helmet starts to shift forward because I don't have a CW.

Breckey Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 The AFE shop at KIKR is not the best when it comes to customer service. It took two months to get a zeta liner because it was "back-ordered" when they had a bin full of them next to their desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brabus Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I honestly hate when our Darth-Vader helo helmet starts to shift forward because I don't have a CW. Hell, I didn't even know a NVG counterweight existed until this thread...must be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hell, I didn't even know a NVG counterweight existed until this thread...must be nice. It doesn't exist in ejection seat aircraft. Go to the gym and work on that pencil neck and you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 6G Hog driver making fun of a 9G Viper driver's neck. Now THAT's funny. During the B course, I went up 3 neck sizes in my mess dress party shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the B course, I went up 3 neck sizes in my mess dress party shirt. Oh my, that's right impressive! Thanks for the update. I didn't know all the LGPOS guys had massive necks now. That must be new along with the A-10 6G limit. I am shattered to learn that I have always been a pencil neck. It's only been a couple years but shit sure changes fast.
