Steve,
I have put forward a design for wing tie downs using W18 plates to the
PFA.The modification has been
proven up to 80 kts wind speed by Barry Mellors and I hope to receive full
approval in the near future.
Please contact me with your address or fax number if you would like a copy.
Regards,
Paul Brodie
