Tying down a TrigearI tie my trigear (not Europa) down with two luggage straps.
One slipped between the spinner and cowl and one around the tail infront of the
fin.

  Has anyone worked out a good/safe way of tying down a Europa Trigear once the
speedkit is fitted? The speedkit very neatly covers up all the nice solid things
like gear legs that you would otherwise tie to. A rope round the fairings
on the gear legs will surely crush them if it's tight enough to be of any use?
May also damage the brake pipes. The prop seems to be the only semi-solid thing
to hand but I can't think it's a good idea to attach anything to that even
if it could be done.

  Now that it's getting windy here in the UK, this is becoming a bit of an 
issue!
Any bright ideas?

  Thanks
