Hi group
I need some basic instruction.... I've been noticing tie down ropes. The
knots folks use are all over the map. Is there a basic "best" knot for tying
down the bird? We're looking at windy weather here in the NE this weekend.
The ropes here on the Vineyard are poly-something.
A link to a picture would be nice.

A taut line hitch. Look here on page 3:

I use the double hitch part two or three times and finish it with a single.

BTW, the canoe hitch mentioned earlier would only serve to get the airplane
off your hands for insurance purposes.
