The manual is a bit vague on what fixture is used to tie down an SGS 1-34 tail. Almost every single seat Schweizer I can remember has some sort of eye bolt in the lower empennage area. What's the scoop with a 1-34? I'm not near the gliderport and the question came up in our club newsgroup.

Does your 1-34 have a trailer? Every 1-34 trailer setup I've seen uses a bolt through holes in the tailwheel bracket to hold down the tail on the trailer. Perhaps, load the fuselage on it's trailer and see if a tail lockdown bracket is present, and drill appropriate holes as required...
Think of them as "lightening holes"...
