Default Plane hold downs...

We have some poles pounded into the ground at our startup area. Everybody brings their own rope with 2 loops on one end. The rope ties around the pole and the loops are just looped over each horizontal stabilizer. The plane stays put unless you have a bad glue joint in which case the plane shouldn't be taking off anyway! Even our 1/4 scale guys use this method.
