When I tie down in the open I secure the rudder with a cord after using the
seat belt to hold the stick aft and centered. Works OK but I'm thinking of
using a short piece of rubber tube with a hold cut in it for the tail
light/strobe to stick thru.

It seems to me that it may work fine for winds of 10kts or so but in really
strong winds it may have problems. The rope around the strobe may slip and
the rudder will be free to move and get damaged. Secondly the attach points
on the horizontal stab are putting a load on the stab that it was not
designed to carry. That is a twisting rocking motion that lasts for as long
as the aircraft is parked outside in the wind.
