Rated “Top Choice” by Aviation Consumer Aviation Consumer says FlyTies are the best portable tie down on the market. TESTIMONIALSDear Bruce, I would like to thank you for the security and peace of mind that your FlyTies give me. Recently, I parked my airplane at Oshkosh for EAA Airventure 2006. We were ready for a relaxing week, but Mother Nature had more turbulent plans. The first night, I spied a funnel cloud descending from an ominous looking thunderstorm over the field. Fortunately, the funnel cloud never touched down, but it was an indication of the things to come. My airplane, a Cessna 185, is particularly susceptible to strong winds since it is a taildragger, and sits on the ground in a nose-high attitude. The airplane will pull strongly against any tiedowns with strong gusts from the front due to the angle of attack on the ground. On one of the last days of the show, a powerful squall line pushed through Oshkosh in the early morning hours with wind gusts to over 60 knots. One taildragger at a nearby airfield tore through its tiedowns and was blown over onto another aircraft. However, my FlyTies held strong. I awoke the next morning to find my airplane and the FlyTies securely on the ground. Thanks again, John Kounis
