• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I have looked for a good idea in tie-downs for a long time. What I have in mind is a brkt. bolted to the spar with a small access hole through the fabric to insert a ball/snap pin. I do not remember what they are called but they lock with a ball bearing and release when the button is pushed on the end of the lock. Something like this with a ring in the end for the tie down rope would be lightweight and totally disappear when not in use.
Anyone with any good ideas for something along this line that we can put in the manual when we get there?
Thanks
