Post subject:  Seat Belts for the Eaglehawk?
Hi All,

Has anyone created "seat belts" (for purchase) for the non-cockpit seats for the Eaglehawk helicopter?

I still have mine sitting in the box, and the only reason why I haven't opened it up and assembled the copter is because of not wanting to deal with the frustration of staring at a troop transporter that will kill every passenger on board as soon as it banks either left or right in the air (in other words, it has limited "playability"). From what I have seen, the footpegs are pretty useless (especially if you wanted to put any o-ring figures in the Eaglehawk).

I've been waiting to hear about someone designing "seat belts" for the Eaglehawk, but haven't seen or heard anything, and I was hoping that someone on this forum could shed some light on the subject.

Thanks,

Blitzkrieg

I would use those clear mini rubber bands that come with everything.

You have to wonder what the Hasbro designers were thinking when they did that. I mean they clearly put a lot of thought in to the rotor blade design, the movement of the seats to accommodate the 25th figures, and even the hinged engine access panels. But the seats were left with no back pegs and the foot pegs on the floor are completely useless because you can't get a foot on them in any sort of natural position. I mean I'm okay with the lack of back pegs only because I don't collect the 25th style figures so it lets me put my o-ring figures in there easier. But still, the vintage Tomahawk had them, seems strange to leave them out for the modern style of figures.

I think thats what the foot pegs are for in front of the seats... put the figures feet in the pegs with the moveable feet and they'll stay?
