Is Charley telling us anything about A/C tie-down?

Geo,

It's amazing that people who spends 10s or 100s of thousands of dollars on a
plane won't spend ~$10.k for a tornado proof, hurricane proof, fire proof
hangar.

It is amazing that there is not one single photograph I could find on the
website that shows a real hangar in use with an aircraft. All I could find is
concept drawings - and your word that it's tornado proof. And you're really
surprised people don't spend 10k on it?

Does anybody know of any wind-tunnel tests for analysis of tie-down
behaviour? I tried a google search without much success.

OK, enough with the commercial announcements, we all get the message.

You can get much more tension from a Versatackle:

Once you get the loops placed correctly for your setup, you can leave
the loops in place unless you need to use the rope for something else.
