Hi Bill,

That is a very strong accusation against the CLAW. Can you please give
more information about the circumstances of the 2 failures?


There was a Husky aircraft lost last year while tied out using the Claw. The
Claw's casting failed, IIRC. However, there was some question as to whether
a nearby aircraft's tie down failed first, hitting the Husky. Both aircraft
totaled.
