Damn, and I don't have a tow hook for the tow vehicle, and my Skystriker is located in storage.

Tow hook in Sky Striker:

Sky Striker being Towed:

I tried it on the conquest and I don't think it's a perfect fit....maybe it'd be good enough as a kid...but as an adult collector...I've seen too many Catch Hooks broken like wishbones to really want to try it any further than these pics.

Conquest Wheels, and wheel cover are wider than my Catch Hook:

It fits if the wheels aren't fully spread.

Image

The Tow Hook dosn't quite fit...the screw hole has a larger diameter than the one on the Skystriker.
Image


The Conquest sits lower than the Sky Striker, causing the Tow Motor to do a Wheelie.

Thanks for the pics Nova.

The way you did the Arrestor Hook on the Conquest is exactly how I did it as a kid. The wheels have to be in slightly exactly like you've done.

I wonder if the shape of the door for the Conquest's main landing gear was modified during development to allow for attachment of the arrestor hook.
