Default Hurricane Wilma Damages

In terms of tie downs, I have one under each wing and at the tail. I used
nylon strap similar to seat belt material, and doubled up with nylon boat
rope. The wind was strong enough to tear all six straps. Never seen this
before. The entire field at Lantana was smashed.


There has to be better tiedown material than nylon.
It elongates 20%-30%. Not good when you want to keep something in place.
