Hi Luke . . . just wondered if you received the email I sent regarding the cockpit? Really love all the forums on the CMP bird .... Glad you enjoyed the pics. I really liked the one you hadm that showed your tailhook. What did you use to form it? Thanks again ... Ernie/Hellcat41
Ernie, I just now noticed that you are from Lakewood WA! I used to be your neighbor, I lived in Tacoma for 3 years. I lived in Bellingham for about 15 years. Kind of miss the old place but it does rain a lot! I make my tail-hooks with aluminum tube and the hook part is just balsa block cut to shape and sanded. I'll get back to your e-mail in a bit!
