I assume the tiedown in the tail is designed to handle a load mostly in the vertical direction as if it is being tied to the ground directly below. But what if one lands on a beach, for example, and wants to pull the plane uphill away from the water well above the tide line into an area he doesn't want to be running the prop. Can the tail tiedown point be used to attach a rope, block and tackle, to pull the aircraft, single person, over soft sand or other "draggy" surface material up to higher ground? Or will this just bend/brake the tiedown attachment? Anybody successfully pulled HARD on this tiedown point and not hurt anything?
