Does your glider have a CG Hook? If so, make yourself
a short rope from 3/8ths hollow braid polypropelene,
or similar. On one end, put a chain link or a Tost
ring. Put a loop in the other end. Secure the loop
to the ground (through one of those tie-down rings
on paved ramps, or a good tie-down stake you put in
them move the plane over), and hook the other to your
CG hook. Push the glider back until the rope goes
tight, and block the wheel. Tie the tail aft to another
tiedown, and put stands under the wings.


Works great at Hobbs, which is where I started using it. You didn't
copy me did you
