My opinion is the owner of that plane should get a different hobby. No control locks, flaps down. Must be some rich boy that doesn't know any better. What a shame.

Maybe he just wants to sell it to the insurance company. Looks to me like
one big gust of wind would put it on it's back in the lake.

I think he's just getting ready to take off! :)

It's a real shame...

I find that many Cessna drivers like to put their flaps down, when they're
tied down, for some strange reason. Maybe they think it creates a spoiler
effect...when indeed it makes them fly in the ropes on high gust
days......just bad advise or intuition I guess.

The guy had the right idea with the blocks, instead of plunking it in the
mud.....just too bad he forgot to prop something under the rear keels !
