Hi all,
My Europa (Classic tri gear with XS wings and FWF) has no obvious tie down points.
POH indicates that the undercarriage should be used, but with the speed kit
I can see challenges there. What to you all use?

I use the front nose wheel frame and the rear hard point originally part of the
tail wheel mounting point on my tri-gear.

I use the inside of the main legs at the bottom inboard of the spats not ideal
but so far no problems.

Hi! Rick ....Happy New Year!
I have put eye bolts through the centre of the thick square spacer block in
the outboard flap hinges arranging for the eye to just protrude through the
speed fairing leading edges.
Each takes a good load through a load bearing point. Then I still have the
Mono Tail wheel spring arm with an eye bolt for winching the aircraft
rearwards into the trailer for a rear third tie down point
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG

Cheers all,
I have a tie-down point below the fin, presumably attached to the tailwheel hard-point.
I guess it's best to be tail-into-wind with the rudder gust-locked, stick
held forwards (or tailplane removed?) and flaps down. Some sort of screw-in
eyebolts mid-span on each wing would be lovely, but not a feasible retro-fit.
If you have to leave them parked in forecast strong winds, has anybody considered
the feasibility of removing the wings entirely? I'm thinking that a 35kt wind
from the front is going to seriously test any tie-downs.

Hi Rick=2C
I had the foresight to install 8mm eyebolts at build time=2C so not much us
e to you.For parking I only have north/south positions=2C which is not good
. My unorthodox method is to leave a lot of slack=2C then the aircraft will
weathercock into wind. Bad weather tends to come fromthe east. If hurrican
e force winds were forecast I would derig and at least bring the wings home
into my garage.Karl
