I agree. A cover is an effective disincentive to a light fingered passer
by(and I think they are rare on airfields). And a lock would not stop
the sort of professional thief who sets out to steal your engine. David

Hi what I did more from a visual point of view is added a bracket to the
Rear of the outside handle that I subsequently drilled a hole vertical down
Through both handle and bracket so a padlock could be used,
Its a good deterrent IMO but obviously wouldnt stop a determined toe rag
I also use a cover when left at a unattended airfield,

Subject: | Re: Wing tie down anchors |
Chris,
Something to consider. When you tie down at an airport, the takedowns are set
up for each wind and tail. There is not a tie down for the wheel(s). I put in
a threaded socket at the outside rib at each spar. If it even added a pound
I'd be surprised. I have a pair of eye 3/8's bolts that I screw in when needed.
I tape over the hole when not in use.
Bill

these anchors I will not install them in the interest of weight saving (and
a little less work). I guess one way is to tie the wings down is through the
outrigger hinge mechanism but I am afraid that gusty winds could cause damage
to the mechanism.
