Tim, That is how most UK monos tie down in my experience, with a rope
round the mainwheel fork and one round tail spring. One potential lurgy
worth mentioning is that in very windy conditions my brake fluid line
was cut by the tie down rope, so only put that rope round port side of
U/C fork, well away from brake line. Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

tail wheel only. The outriggers should prevent the wings from lifting. Therefore
no tie down points are required on the wings.
