It appears to have a lot of risk for the deck hands and plane crew, but those young fellas probably didn't worry about that....the gunner would have to crawl out after the plane engaged the sled drawn by the ship, and hook up a cable...and the firing of the catapult itself, or when swinging onto the ship...
there had to be some repairs !

I worked quite awhile on this and this is where it is now, I think some rigging would be easier to get to without the float attached. Nobi' s float design for the wingtips look simple but he has really a nice design for this..Ive messed up quite a few areas most I just redo, some of the errors were due to flaws I caused enlarging the model. Simple radial engine from 1/33 model most parts left off.
