I finally broke down and got a set of Fly ties.. using a pounder(Hammer) is much easier than holding a cork screw while you run around in a circle trying to get it to bite into the ground. besides Fly Ties hold the plane down waaaay better than those useless things which originally were sold at pet stores so you could tie your dog to them...also the fly ties fit into a little 12 inch bag which fits under my seat...
Actually the ones I hace are the ones out of Sporty's. There aren't the dog tiedown ones, but I think are about as useless. They resemble the first 360 of an auger, but have the same problem: really hard to get them to bite the ground. If there are any rocks, etc., forget it. Sounds like I had better get something ordered and overnighted. Wish I would have asked this earlier. Oh well, I have been wanting to get some anyway.
Thanks for the info.
Got my Flyties oredered today. Should be here by Thursday for the flyin!
Hey Gary, what is giong to be the protocol for parking. Obviously first come, first served. Just wondering if there will be certain areas we aren't to park and if they will be marked. I'm thinking we'll relagate ourselves to one end or the other in the event the little one wake up in the middle of the night.

The guy builds a lavish hotel and restaurant along the Colorado river with an airfield to attract airplanes. Who knows he might have put in some tie downs?
