Default Good news Mardy...

...that your RV is OK. I don't like seeing any airplanes storm-damaged.

FWIW, we used to duct tape a 2 X 4 on top of the spars on our Agwagons that always sat outside here in Ga.. since they act like spoilers and really destroy lift. 3'-4' is all you need.

Best,

Unhappy Tiedowns

It looks like the tiedowns did a good job of holding those Cessna wings in place. Too bad the wind blew the rest of the airplane away...
