The yearly airshow at our airport is this weekend (Aug 25-26), and that means aircraft(mine included) that are parked on the tarmac, must be moved. The paved tarmac area is where the viewing public is allowed. I will be parking down the hill in a flat grassy/dirt area that's off limits to the public(saw people let their children climb on airplanes in the other field, hence why I park where I do). Anyway, I am going to use "The Claw" that I bought several years ago, for the first time. I bought these tiedowns for the off chance I fly to a grass strip and there are no tiedowns. So far I have never had to use them. Just wondering what your thoughts are on these and other types of temporary tiedowns. I've read good and bad about just about all of them, with most testimonials mentioning the tornado at Sun n Fun last year, and using that as the gauge for the success or failure of any tiedowns. I don't expect to have to withstand a tornado, but am curious to hear what you all think.
