Thanks, Doc.
Here is how to do 1/2A carrier. Install an arresting hook in the down position with enough flex to allow the tail to sit down for takeoff. Attach a string to the tail, so that it can be pulled by the pilot. Take off, fly fast for time then pull the tail inward while lifting the nose of the plane, this will slow the model. Finish the slow timing and go for an arrested landing. With practice it is easy.
