Going through old Oshkosh pictures today. Wondering if anything ever became of this.

Cargo pod
Search for Mike Arnold videos on Youtube and you will see how he designed and made that pod. He was extemely talented.

Mike Arnold
Mike seemed to be ultra dedicated to the craft! Super cool info!
The Arnold Company knew glass!

Wing Pod on a -4
I just look at the video, very interesting but a lot of work...
Anyone has an idea of the drag factor ( Speed penality , loading consideration.etc...)
Thanks
