Got mine earlier, like it a lot. Some of the stickers end up going over the rivets(if you go by the suggestions from the included direction sheet), so I put some of the stickers elsewhere. Build quality overall is good except that the front rotor sometimes hits the top of the body. Oh well.
Lift Ticket is awesome. Pretty durable toy, removing rotors is easy but not stupidly easy. This toy will not fall apart during play like the Ghost HAWK II will. However unless Hasbro releases a repaint, I'm not so sure I will buy another one. I was thinking about getting another and using the black stickers for a Eaglehawk for Flint, but one is enough for now. If we see Tiger Force, Night Force or low viz repaints by Hasbro I will definitely buy them. |

I have a vintage Tomahawk hanging right now. Run a line through the front part of the passenger area. Run a second through the tail rotor. Mine has been up there for years like that and never had a problem.

^thanks,I'll try that this weekend. I bought a 25th Vamp off eBay to sling under it. when it shows up I'll fabricate some kind of sling to hook to the hoist hook under it,most likely from the black string supplied with the spring loaded launchers a lot of my son's figures came with... I really wish they still made the trailered artillery that hitched to the Vamps,like the whirlwind. I actually have two eaglehawks,I'd like to have the second one have a trailered artillery hanging under it. I'm not sure the color of the 25th vamp would match the vintage artillery tho. it's hard to tell from online pics:( I'm assuming you used fishing line to hang your tomahawk from the ceiling? I guess that's what I'm gonna use. |

There are special ceiling hooks at places like Lowes or Home Depot that have a special drywall anchor in it, so you can place it anywhere and not just in a ceiling joist. I think some of the them have a 50# weight limit.

^I used fishing line,and draped it through the open sides,fastened with Phillips screws screwed in flush with the cieling.
I also tied a line between those,so if an anchor fails it won't loose a whole side completely,still nothing is actually directly tied to the eaglehawk. The other one is getting a Vamp under it... |
