Anarrangementthat somehow attached to the upper landing gear mountpointsprobably wouldwork OK as well, but would be much harder to implementwithoutat leastminor (repairable) damage.You could pote ntially hang it fromthewing attach fittings and tailwheelas well. There's a gap between theouterwing panel and the centre section(which may have a gap seal over it) whereacable could be attached. Thefront WAFs are probably pretty close to thecentreof gravity though, so asandbag somewhere down the back might be a goodidea inthat case.Also keep in mind that the composite construction doesn'tage well ifit'ssituated outdoors.Cheers,TonyOn 7 September 2015at 07:11, inquire via KRnetwrote:>>> > Helloto All,>> Per the subject line, we are not pilots, and untilrecently > hadno> knowledge of this beautiful plane.
