As a tie down
I've not experienced this but I recall when others had issues when parked into the wind, if the wind was strong enough, it would push the tail into the ground. At Oshkosh one year I saw were someone used the front pull location to tie down the gear with a stake on both sides and a rope threaded through the ring. I've seen pictures of holding structures guys have made to support the tail, and this plane, with the front tied down, didn't have the tail supported.
It probably would help the tail down if the stick was secured full aft with the seat belt.
Just wondering if this tie down method is used and if tail support is common for the 12 drivers who travel more and need to tie down outside.
