I know this subject has been beat to death and you know what they say about opinions. After watching my 180 do a 180 at New Holstein and rip the CLAWs out of the ground, I am revisiting the subject. The ground was soggy and muddy. The tail tie down failed because I had it fastened to the tail spring loaded handles. The 60+mph first gust ripped the eye off of the handle leaving the claw in the ground. When the plane spun 180 into the wind, it pulled up the Wing Claws. Thanks to those who clung to it and helped me tie it back down. I spent the next 20 minutes clinging to a strut, drenched, and freezing. Scared the beejesus out of me.
I am looking for discussion as to what folks use and why and in what kind of soil.
