Go play lotto. Seriously, we're glad to hear you and your Kitfox are okay. Were you with the airplane when the Wx hit?

It made me wonder what types of tiedowns the survivors used and if tiedown method was a factor in who escaped damage or was not so fortunate. What were you using and do you have any idea what the Avid and Cub were using?

I had a Claw. I was on hi ground. An RV was upwind from me and probably slowed the wind down some. My gear was sprung in showing that it had lifted up against the tiedowns. I plan to make longer spikes for my Claws.
