If you have a Phoenix on the left wing the following weapons rail configuration is required; Weapons Rails and Phoenix Fairings (the fairings forward of the rails) must be installed. In addition, an "Umbilical Bridge" must be installed (item #5 in this drawing; https://patentimages.storage.googlea...S3771416-1.png ) If you have a Phoenix on the right wing you only need the right belly weapons rail but I've never seen a plane fly in this configuration, we always flew with at least two on the front or nothing at all. For the umbilical bridge, this was required whenever you had Phoenix's on the wings or when the aft weapon rails were installed, the umbilical bridge provided electrical power and coolant to the wing station and electrical power to the aft weapon rail stations (this goes for bomb rails also). It was possible to fly with just the Phoenix Fairing before 90/91 and with just the weapons rails (no Phoenix Fairings) before the mid 80's, after those dates FITWING put a stop to those configurations.
