Default Rodent proofing CG Hook

The club Grob had copious evidence of rodent infestation and we found that the CG hook opening offers a wide passage. We cut out a piece of aluminum, glued a stack of disk magnets to hold it to the tow hook inside the cage and put on a drawer pull. Also taped inside to protect the finish. Will add some flagging tape so we can find if somebody forgets to remove before towing to runway.

Make cover out of a plastic ladle with internal loop;
pull the release, engage the loop, lock the cover over the release.
