Default RE: Plane restraint question


ORIGINAL: Tom Nied

One think I like about it is that it holds very securely and when I need to release the plane, I can do it from behind the prop.
And you can release the plane without having to pick it up. That is one thing I have always disliked about restraint systems like those described above. You have to lift the plane up to remove it from the restraint. And with the motor running it just takes one small slip to cause injury. With rope and a tent stake I just lift the rope loop off of the stake and the plane comes right out of the rope.

Just another 2¢ worth. So I guess that makes me up to 4¢ now!!!
