I’m located in Chino and the guy in the hangar across from me worked up a “Remove Before Flight” flag with a clip that fits into and covers the vents and pitot tube. He calls it the Mud Safe and it is specifically designed to keep the mud dabbers out of the various lines. Really easy to use and don’t fall out on the ramp.

My RV-6A builder used the blue metal 90 degree threaded fittings as the fuel vents and then mounted an "Do Not Remove" strap to a pair of threaded caps. Worked great and looked clean & professional. Photo shows 2 red streamers under wings. Sorry no better photos.Robin
