Default Wing tie down question

I will by flying my LAK17at at contests and camps this summer. I will need to tie out the glider.

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.)

Lou
