Tiedowns is run by Robert Hughes, who built and now flies a permit microlight. Why has he dedicated so much time to designing and sourcing tie downs?

"Well, I like to fly around the UK and across the Channel, often leaving my plane overnight at airfields. The only protection my plane has is its tie down. I was faced with buying a spiral-type tie down to hold my plane down, but they don't work well at all, and are really hard to get in the ground, especially without getting the rope tangled up."

"I first met Bill Alexander at Sun ´n Fun in Florida - he is the designer and patent holder of "The Claw" tie down. I was immediately impressed with the tie down; It´s well made, comes in a handy bag and is really easy to use. Bill has sold many thousands of his tie downs in the United States to owners who trust their aircraft to "The Claw". I am very pleased to be able to offer "The Claw" tie down to aircraft owners in the UK and Europe". I believe there is no better portable tie down available.

"I will trust my plane to no other tie downs than the ones I supply - my plane is protected by The Claw - no other tie down comes close!"
