Best way to tie down the nose strut in advance of a storm
Tricycle gear builders and pilots - your plane is tied down at the Oshkosh Convention and a storm front is approaching. You have installed a wheel fairing on the nose strut. In addition to the three tiedown rings designed in, what is the best way to add a fourth tie down to the nose strut?

Old float plane and back country trick is to carry a few 15 inch spiral ground stakes that are available at any home building store.
Make a rope loop around the prop hub, tie to the ground stake and you are all set.
