I'm looking for ideas on how to strap it down to the floor the floor is 3/4 plywood so I can screw what ever to the floor I come up with. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
I've seen the ones advertized, but with wheel pants I'm not sure how easy they would be to use, especially with a beast 1/3 Waco! Here's what I did on my last short hour long trip to the field. I used picture hanging loops and tarp bungee's from Home depot and strapped the plane, and tailwheel down to the floor. I then used sandbags to keep the plane from rolling fore and aft.
