As an old sailor I know a few good knots. (Including Granny knots<grin>) But darned if I can dream up some sort of slip knot that could be used to secure the tail for hand propping?

Is there some sort of a slip knot that:
1) Will securely hold airplane from moving forward.
2) Line could be pulled from the cockpit to release the tail
3) And also free the line for retrieval into the cockpit.

Thanks,
Tom Charlton
