Hello,



Is there an accepted way to attach ropes to the wings for tying down a 701?  Like adding something at the main spar wing attach points that allows a rope to be conveniently looped through?  There's nothing obvious in the archives about this.



Help appreciated,

Bill . . . in the lower left corner sheet 7V8 of my 701 plans, there's a 

detail of a tiedown bracket.  I discussed this with Roger at ZAC, and he 

said they are seldom installed.  Most simply tie a line around the 

strut.  Robert Schoenberger 701

Bill,

Here is what I did.  The added piece is from 1/16" 4130 sheet.   I put the

"quick link" through the hole in the 4130 and tie the rope to it.  I carry

the quick links with me.

Bill,

 Not sure what drawings you are using but I installed the Tie down rings per  the bottom left hand corner of 7-V-8. It works well. Drawings are dated  11/2004

Thanks.. didn't think to check the plans, and not sure mine will have it, mine are circa 2003, but will check.  And thanks for the pic, Chuck, it looks like that would work well too.  So I should be all set.
