L'Hotelier Fitting Safety Pins
My pins were tied tightly with waxed twine but, during taxi, the pins
just slipped out of the loops. I have taken to inserting the pins into
the holes of the fittings where they're kept safe during taxi.

Those bobby pins are used extensively on my Stemme and I lost two
that
fell out of their retaining strings during taxiing operations leaving me
with only one spare. A quick search found 1.2 mm hitch pins at
WalMart
(of all places). I got a bag of 50 pins for under $8. Here's a link
for anyone needing the same. I've tried them and they fit.

I keep my pins in the strings with a small fly tying style thread wiping
and a drop of nail varnish.
