I am trying to figure out a good way to tie down the wings. With 18m wingtips, the ailerons extend almost to the end of the wingtip. I am concerned about damaging the aileron if I just throw a strap over the top and tighten down.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

(I did post a question on the LAK17a Yahoo group as well.)

Just thinking, if you remove the wingtips and replace it with a rod or tube which fits into the wingtip receiver hole, you could then use the extending rod or tube as a tie-down point.
