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.

That's what I've seen for Ventus 16.6...tie down one side with wing dolly and other side fibreglass wing cuff.

If you use the one from your trailer you need to remind your crew that they have to collect it from your tiedown in the event of an outlanding. Either that or put it in your trailer every day before takeoff.

I think it's probably best to have one dedicated to the job.
