The SlideDown Tiedowns are an exceptional new product for securing your aircraft to ground anchors. Pilots have been raving about the ease and simplicity of securing their aircraft with SlideDowns.
The powder coated slide mechanism is made from aircraft grade aluminum, the vinyl coated hooks prevent any scratching of the aircraft surfaces and the rope is braided not far from his shop using a combination of polyester and nylon with a tensile strength of approximately 8,000 pounds. And best of all, using a SlideDown is super fast. There is nothing worse than tying knots in the pouring rain. With the SlideDown there is no more tying knots or messing with old, rusted, chains.
This SlideDown with a 7/16" kernmantle braided rope is appropriate for most general aviation single and light twin engine airplanes. If you have a sport airplane or lighter single engine, you can get the SlideDown LT with a 1/4" Sta-Set rope.
Includes one SlideDown tie-down for each wing plus a tail SlideDown and a convenient carry bag. Made in the USA.

Way too short
- By Flo from Chandler, AZ on Saturday, July 09, 2022
- Pros: Strong, high quality
- Review: On the website, they do NOT provide the length of these tie downs. They are way too short for most airports where they are needed.
- Verified Purchase
These need to be about 2 feet longer. I have been to several airports the tie downs are too wide and I need longer tie downs.

Pretty OK
- By A Customer from USA on Friday, April 08, 2022
- Pros: Quick and easy
- Review: These make quick work and beat most of the sun wrecked ropes you find on the ramp. Very easy to use, but 3 stars because the ropes get chewed up pretty quick by the nature of how they operate. Used just once for an unexpected 8 day AOG stay. Really glad I had them in the stowage for just such a case - We hangar the PA32 unless unavailable and wouldn't rely on these if we tied down regularly..

Review:
The product is well-made, rugged, and well-suited to the task of securing an aircraft. Makes quick work and also comes with a nice carrying case. That last part is very good to have so that it can be neatly stowed when in transit.

Length of rope not long enough
- By Robert C172 Pilot from New Jersey on Sunday, September 06, 2020
- Pros: Seems like a nice concept
- Review: The length doesn’t reach on my high wing Cessna. Probably would work on a low wing. Would be nice if they would have said that in their advertisement.

Fantastic
- By Peter from Lincoln, RI on Thursday, November 01, 2018
- Pros: Easy to use and they never loosen on their own
- Review: Bought this product at a fly-in directly from the inventor. I tiedown outside year round. The first dozen times I checked these after a bad windstorm they were tight enough to play a tune on! Super well made and first quality. Have used them for over a year now and they still look brand new. This is the best value in aviation (they could easily charge twice as much).

Too short
- By Mark from Montana on Tuesday, September 19, 2017
- Pros: well made
- Review: This product is nicely made. that said, it is much too short. Didn't use until 3 mos after purchase and then needed on a cold rainy night. The tail tie-down is very short. You have to be right over a tie-down ring. the wing tie downs are also short and you need to be centered between the 2 tie down rings. Was a pain maneuvering the plan and then had to use one wing tie down for the tail so had only 2 points of tie down. Not good.

Works as advertised!
- By Tom from Pensacola FL USA on Saturday, February 14, 2015
- Pros: Quick and easy to put on...tiedown is complete in about 1/4 of the time
- Review: The directions were not perfectly clear on how to adjust the "excess" rope length with a knot on the bottom side of the slide. Once I figured out what was needed so the slide would "lock" they worked great. I also really like that a case is provided.
