Sporty’s has introduced the Flight Gear Pull-Down Tie-Down Kit.

“Featuring an innovative rope-ratcheting system, which allows for quick and effortless tightening and release, this device is designed with the pilot in mind,” Sporty’s officials said.

Attach one of the coated hooks to the aircraft and the other hook to a tie-down anchor point. Then pull the rope through the automatic ratcheting system to secure the aircraft.

When you are ready to fly, use the quick-release trigger on the ratcheting mechanism to release the ropes, according to Sporty’s officials.

“It is that simple and quick, with no complicated knots or manual ratcheting required,” officials add.

The included ropes come in high-visibility orange, ensuring easy identification of your aircraft and providing added safety when moving around the tie-down area.

Designed to accommodate both high- and low-wing aircraft, the Flight Gear Pull-Down Tie-Down Kit includes two ropes, measuring 10 feet each, and one rope, measuring 6 feet, for the aircraft tail. All ropes are 3/8-inches in diameter, “providing ample strength for a secure hold, even in gusty conditions,” Sporty’s officials said.

A carrying bag is included for portability and to save space when stored in your aircraft.

Price: $49.95.
