CAPR 66-1 has specific rules for using chains as tie-downs.

Quote from: 15.cc. Tie-Down chains. Chains shall not be used directly from aircraft mooring points to an anchor point because of excessive impact loads on wing spars. When chain tie-downs are used, they shall be attached to wire rope anchors as depicted in Attachment 3

That's what we have - only the last few feet are chain so that they stay on the ground when not attached to anything I suppose.  This past Wednesday was the first time I've been in a CAP airplane since 1974.  Since at this rate I will not fly again until 2046 I figure I'll learn the regulation in place when that date gets closer.  I'll probably be flying with my own wings before then anyway.
