Hi Rick=2C
I had the foresight to install 8mm eyebolts at build time=2C so not much us
e to you.For parking I only have north/south positions=2C which is not good
. My unorthodox method is to leave a lot of slack=2C then the aircraft will
weathercock into wind. Bad weather tends to come fromthe east. If hurrican
e force winds were forecast I would derig and at least bring the wings home
into my garage.Karl

t-locked=2C stick held forwards (or tailplane removed?) and flaps down. Som
e sort of screw-in eyebolts mid-span on each wing would be lovely=2C but no
t a feasible retro-fit.

considered the feasibility of removing the wings entirely? I'm thinking tha
t a 35kt wind from the front is going to seriously test any tie-downs.
