Default Wing tie down question

How about a wing-bow made of fibreglass with some sort of eyelets that you can tie rope to? If the shape of the wing makes it difficult to slip over the tip you could make it hinging and latched at the rear.

Also stops your ailerons (and flaps if flaperons) from flapping around in the wind.

Nick.
