Not to be duplicating efforts, but I made a 600 gallon centerline tank as well. Bartered with dlxpkg for a pair of wing bags for my A-10 in return for a printed centerline tank:)
Some design differences from apmech1's, like utilizing the stock FW hardware as well as I added the aft sway braces. Will upload to thingiverse after I finish printing them and make sure they are good.2 Photos

I bought the upgrade F-4 cockpit parts as well as the two engine exhaust upgrades. Everything worked out pretty well, however on the cockpit parts I had two parts left over and I have no idea where they go. I"ll post a pic of them. Can anyone tell me where these are supposed to go on the airplane?1 Photo

that would require a far more secure attachment than is needed for the landing gear. It would impose several G of deceleration force on the aircraft.
I've done arrested landings with control line. 1 lb sandbags each end of the arresting wire, 1/2 inch thick solid balsa profile fuselage with 1/8 inch thick aircraft plywood .reinforcing plates at the tailhook attachment point, 8-32 bolt as the pivot pin, and commonly sheared the bolt. (which was the cheapest thing to have break if the landing was too fast)
And that was a much lighter and slower model.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.
current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

On my t45 when I drop landing flaps I have the tailhook also drops,have servo connected to a spring when the tail hook contacts the ground it just floats .
Doesn't do anything except look amazing on final with everthing down and dirty.
I have played with trying to catch streamers on the runway.
