For a lightweight cover you can't beat the lite Vans RV8 cover. Fits the Rocket
like a glove.
For tie downs I use 3/4" thinwall electrical conduit with a bevel cut at the tip to drive into the ground at an angle and a hole drilled in the top for the tie down. Bang em into the ground with with a pair of T2-1900 fence repair pliers http://www.hooverfence.com/tools/fence-pliers.htm I carry to bust out of the cockpit if ever necessary. The conduit is cheap so you can trash it when the ends are banged up or on the way home if you bought too much stuff and do not have room for them.
For gust locks I like the hockey pucks from AC Spruce.

Hey Rocket fliers-
I think I am going to Sun N Fun this year. Any one want to hook up enroute
and fly together? I am at Bountiful Skypark Airport just North of Salt Lake
City. I could find some hanger space for any rockets wanting to overnight in
SLC. And I have a couple guest rooms at my home plus free food!!

Hi Jim - The claw is light weight and effective, and about $100. I made
a set out of light weight chain, threaded master links and 12" spikes.
The chain, I call dog chain, is made out of 10ga wire and is wound aro
und to form two links with the twisted portion in the middle. 3-pieces a
bout 8" connect in the middle with the master link. The end link requir
ed opening up just a-bit to permit insersition of the spike. I carry an
old roofing hammer to drive the spike in and remove.

I'm planning on going to sun and fun this year, the first year with an
airplane and I'm shopping for the best set of tie downs and canopy
covers on the market. Your input is valued and appreciated.
Thanks,
