If you are going to Sun-n-Fun and want some of the hard to find Titanium screw in tie-downs, check with Randy Simpson at Sun-n-Fun.
Randy is Arty Trost's flying buddy. He flies and "maintains" a Carrera. Neat and interesting guy.
I bought a set (3ea with bag) from him. These things are nice and well made. John H has had some for a while and this is the first time I found some.

Randy sent me an email about a week before I blasted off to Alaska in 2004.
Asked me if I would like a set of his titanium tie downs. Replied with an
afirmative. A couple days before I took off my tie downs arrived. I am
very proud of them and take them with me every flight.
They are limited in rocky soil, like out West.
I also have some home made tie downs, rebar with a chain link welded just
below the top, to use in rocky areas. Can pound them in with a mallet,
rock, hachet, or whatever.
Also have some nice long 3/8" braided nylon rope. Nothing like landing in a
wind storm only to find the tie downs are spaced to far apart for your
ropes.

There used to be a guy that made dog style titanium tie downs and sold them
from a web site. I would really like a set but the rumor on this list was
that the guy wasn't delivering on the orders. Is this the same one?
Is this guy still making them. Can you send me contact information.

Rick,
Don't know about the web site and the filling order problem. Randy didn't strike me as the type. I didn't get Randy's e-mail address. I could work on it.
As John H said, he will be at Sun-n-Fun and plans to be at MV with Arty. If your plans include those you can see him there. If not, I can work on it for you.
He is traveling with a few sets. He has sold three so far. Randy is retired and partly financing his trip with these. He can't officially sell them at the vendor regulated Sun-n-Fun, but if you get to him early he may be able to fix you up.
I'll ask permission to post his address when I get it.
