Some years back a Butterfly was the first airplane I ever tried doing arrested carrier landings with.
It had a K&B .28 Sportster on it and just drilled a hole through the after fuselage then inserted a long music wire through a piece of brass tube in the fuselage. Bent this back and down tied together about a foot long with a hook bent into the end. Just let this drag on takeoff.
The Independence class carrier was two milk jugs with fifty feet of mason line tied to the handles and stretched across the runway (uh deck).
Butterfly seemed an odd choice but what fun and it was no Piece-O-cake either (pun intended)
