Doc, 2 things. First I just got my copy of the 2014 Brodak Carrier DVD.  Looks like your really had a good time. 2nd I have been watching and submitting   few things to <Carrier Deck> and think it is just great!  That's one reason why I built a prototype deck like the one's seen there.

 That's a really cool idea!

Hallo Carrier fan´s

Here are the dimensions of my carrier
eight segments of the wedge shaped from 1000mm to 898mm and a ramp 1000mm
and a frame of roofing battens
Is the Carrier 9m long and 1.5m wide.
The center of the cover has a radius of 18,30m (60 feet)
The feet are 300mm high screwed with M16 as a side table from Ikea.
(If the designer can think of nothing he takes a screw)
The four arresting wires are weighted with 2.5kg plywood blocks.
This slide well without being destroyed on grass or concrete.
Others have sandbags if they are a weekend of rain, it is not so nice.
or 2l. Plastic milk bottles with water, here is the problem that one is far on fields from a faucet.
the four arresting wires lying on foam rubber 25mm above the deck
so the deck is fast again for the next pilot clear and the aircraft can not be destroyed.
The Graf Zeppelin 2, over 70 have been in competition use times.
The Dutch carrier Karel Doorman has 2 feet of beer benches that are simply folded.
in England I have seen feet that will exist and be turned out of slats. which is also very fast, easy to build.
