The requested URL /n51Y.htm was not found on this server.

So the plane blew away and was never found, eh?

I have always been "knot challenged". For about $15 I got a set of nylon
tiedown straps with vinyl coated hooks from Costco. Set of 4. Two long

and
two short. The long ones work great for the wing tiedowns on my 182

short
one for the tail. Worked great during a tropical storm in LaPaz.

Hi group
I need some basic instruction.... I've been noticing tie down ropes.

The
knots folks use are all over the map. Is there a basic "best" knot for

tying
down the bird? We're looking at windy weather here in the NE this

weekend.
The ropes here on the Vineyard are poly-something.
A link to a picture would be nice.
Dave

must be a capital N thing.. it's still there... did a couple of cart wheels,
thankfully it was away from the tie down line... it could have been ugly...
there was about $1M worth of gliders on that tie down line... when the gust
front hit.. the other $500K where either in trailers or out on course.
