    I use a "Claw" set also. They are very nice, work excellent, but at 8 pounds a little heavy.

    We may have to agree to disagree about the rope placement. IMO, speaking as a recovering engineer, vertical to the tie down is definitely strongest for the airplane structure and the dynamics of the anchor.

    I've often thought of making up a set of those EAA tie downs. Maybe that will be part of my project plane...
