I really liked Peter Dasher's wing tie down Idea. I  want to try to incorperate both the tie down and a jack pad at each wing. Also I  want to keep it recessed or flush with the wing as each little item has drag  . Has anyone  have any new ideas on this to share?   Tex

Hi Tex, A good Idea from Buz is to use steel angle  and weld the nuts to the angles whereby you can screw the eye bolt into the wing  only when needed, you would not then drag the eye bolt through the  wind.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->  I saw Peter's tie down idea. I'm going to use it too. I thought about  making fairings in front of the islets for drag, but, if they could be recessed,  that would be better. Anyone have an idea how? Also, how do you make jack pads  on the wings?

  

 Thanks everyone.

Couldn't one make a screw in jack pad, too?  Would the "angle bolted to the spar with the nut welded on" be able to support the pad?  



Maybe instead of welding on a regular nut, one could use a . . (searching for term here) . . collar nut (?) like the ones used to connect 2 lengths of all-thread.  That would give a little more axial support and more threads for bearing the weight. . . .
