Tie Downs for the Arion Lightning LS-1
As you all know the Lightning doesn’t have wing tie downs as you find on most general aviation aircraft. The recommended wing tie down location is the outer flap brackets. The tie downs you usually find at most general aviation transient areas consist of either old ropes covered with sand and other grit or chains. Both will damage the paint and or the metal of the flap brackets. The following is a solution to that problem.
We purchased six feet of the strongest nylon strapping used in technical rock climber harnesses and three oval Carabiners at REI Coop for $21 66. We cut the nylon strapping into 18 inch lengths, folded them back on each end approximately five inches and had an upholstery shop (for $10) sew the loops with heavy duty nylon thread. Total cost $31.66. You feed one end of the strap over the outer flap bracket and hook the Carabiner through the two loops and then tie the plane down with either chain or ropes through the other end of the Carabiner. The total weight of the straps and Carabiners is small and we keep them and nylon tie down ropes in a small bag behind the seat in the plane. Gary N335AL Sn 133

Well, in my never ending quest to fabricate the most expensive tie-downs ever, I finally figured out how to find a price on these pins.

About $250 for three of the 5/16" diameter lifting pins. Wow! I DO really like cool, but I'm not thinking I like it THAT much!
No matter, the work of fabricating a fitting that is bonded to spar,rib,skin is the same regardless of whether I put a nutplate or bonded nut on the fitting to receive a screwed-in ring or a steel tube to receive a lifting pin. All the same considerations as to location apply as well.
