Europa Tie Downs

Whilst at WAP for my lesson on Thursday I noticed something which prompted a query. Does the Europa have any tie down points? I only ask because the resident ones had no tie downs on and no suitable points were easily visible in passing.

Moggy that sounds like a sensible idea to me.
BM maybe there are but these are all of the tri-gear variety. None of them had tie downs on and that is a silly omission, if they have them, given the weather that’s forecast.

No idea I’m afraid.

Van’s fit removable tie down loops so that drag is minimised. Mine are only fitted if the aircraft is away from home base and the forecast threatens strong wind
