Spindelberger wing cuffs for tiedown; severe winds
I'd use the cuff, no real pressure except forward then over the
leading edge and down to a cargo-tiedown (come-along). This will also
act as a control lock for ailerons. I use a hard rubber bungie hooked
to the stick then forward to one of the rudder pedals to lock rudder
and elevator. I also use this to do my solo control check after
assembly. I check the ailerons with the trailer control locks in place
(one at a time). I check the spoilers to give wheel brake when full
aft and if they close and lock, they're hooked up. Please don't
somebody read me the riot act about how to properly do a critical
assembly check, I've got automatic hook-ups and I'm convinced my
system checks everything. I do it right after assembly (also solo with
the Wing Rigger) and don't have to go looking for someone who probably
doesn't know how to do a proper assembly check, anyway!
My, how I can carry on,
JJ
Hey JJ,
Do you have a tie down solution for ASW27 (narrow tip with full length
aileron)?
Thanks,
Ramy
