Only just caught up with Pprune, after 30 hours with no electricity!
Most of the piccies of inverted light aircraft, seem to be high-wing types, C152, C172, Maule, Cub etc. I seem to recall that this was so, in the last big blow, a few years ago.
So, questions for the techie anoraks, who actually understand both aerodynamics & weather:-
In very high winds, are high-wing types more likely to invert, than low-wings?
Are taildraggers at greater risk than tricycles, & should they be parked into wind or not?
Does it make any difference how they are tied down, i.e. does tying the tail down, as well as wings, stop them somersaulting?
