    Subject: Remote tie-down
    Has any of you had experience with "Jeb's remote tie-down for hand-propping"? There is one on e-bay and if it works, it might make hand propping a bit safer. What is everyone else using to make your plane stay in one place while your getting in after hand propping? Gene N502R Tennessee

    I simply wrap a nylon strap around the tailskid and tie it to any convenient anchor such as a tie down. With no one in the pilot seat the plane wants to roll at any rpm above 700. After hand propping I throttle back to 700 and untie the strap. I always ensure the area in front of the plane is clear. Once I am sitting in the pilot seat it takes about 1200 rpm to get moving.

    Thanks Greg, That's how I do it except I block the left wheel and remove before I get in, however on very smooth pavement the plane still wants to roll at 700 rpm. It would be nice to have somehow to secure the plane until I'm seated with the brakes on. As a side note I received my winter flying hat that Shawn sent me from Canada. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for one. Well made, very warm and good looking. Their less than $20.00. A great find. Thanks Shawn!

    I have wire wheels and run a piece of flat strap from the rear cabane strut, thru the spokes and back again to the cabane and tied off. I do this on both wheels. When the engine is running, I can one hand untie the half hitches and the strap stores in a bag next to me.

    Great idea Dick! I don't have wire wheels so it won't work for me but I'm sure others will be interested in your method. Sounds like a good safe method to me.

    Thanks Leon, I guess I'll start out with the #2 tip and see how that goes. Will hold off on the cutting torch since most of the cutting will be done on a band saw. Heard it was going to snow a bit up north of me but so far I only saw snow 1 time this year and it didn't amount to much. It's been cold a few times but no snow. That's fine with me. Glenn W.
