Can anyone please give me suggestions as to how you tie down your trike - carabines? ropes? tent pens? Where do you attach, what do you do. Am going to fly to Springbok flyin and trike will stay outside for the night.

Tie down
Hi Guys
We always tie down with nose facing any protection - tree building etc. Tie the wing level - neutral - by using a strong cord around the front footpeg area, then up to the bar corner, then down to the back axle. Both sides. Open zip at spread bar, ant tie 2 cords about 5m each around the spreader bar or leading edge, then v them down to 2 pegs in the ground, both sides, -so 4 pegs for the wings. Then a cord around the front undercarriage, and anoter from the back prop area. So, 6 pegs, 8 ropes, with the wing level, and we'v never had any problems, even with high coastal winds.
can send you a drawing if you want one!
