Remember that Tailhook also requires the 'aircraft.cfg' edit entry with dimensions. If your dimensions place it on the ground when its sitting static on the ground (not in flight) then the tailhook will not move as its jammed on the tarmac. So make sure you;
* Have the Tailhook entry in your config so it will function
* Have the dimensions set for your aircraft CG height
