Hello everybody, I am looking for the ideal tie downs to add to my flight bag. Currently I travel with two lengths of rope for tie down, but I am considering purchasing nylon straps with karabiner hooks and cam locks for a more secure tie down.
I would like to know what length of tie down is ideal for an RV6 to ensure that I can reach the average tie down bracket on ramps at general aviation airports. The tie down I am looking at is 72" long and can handle 2000 lbs tension strength. I wonder if 72" is long enough.
I'd also like to know if others more experienced than me have recommendations of tie down lengths and products that they like for their RV6.
Thanks for any input!
