Does anybody know of any wind-tunnel tests for analysis of tie-down behaviour? I tried a google search without much success. Having seen the Charley pictures from Orlando Executive and Punta Gorda, I'm wondering if we are doing the right thing. I can tell you from recent experience that the only way to safe guard your plane in winds exceeding 50knots, is to move it to some place safe. There are pictures on three websites that will show you planes that were tied down and still damaged, some still tied down and damaged in place. http://www.flyinggators.com/news/hurricane/exec.htm http://www.floridascubadiver.com/hurricane_charley.htm http://www.avweb.com/news/features/187931-1.html David (KORL)
