    Subject: New Gust Lock
    We recently have been experimenting with a gust lock mechanism for our RV-1 0 that holds the stick in place w/o the use of seat belts etc... The goal w as to design a small unit to lock the control surfaces in a neutral positio n without using the seatbelts or other systems that could shift over time. We played with a number of different designs but most were not completely s uccessful due to the curvature of the stick around the binding area. Ultima tely we decided to place a hard point on the stick to guarantee no movement when attached. I was worried that the stick hard point may get in the way but it is a non-issue. Photos of our final design. [Description: J:\Users\Robin_2\Desktop\Gust Lock RV-10\Gust Lock Bracket RV -10 (1).JPG] [Description: J:\Users\Robin_2\Desktop\Gust Lock RV-10\Gust Lock Bracket RV -10 (2).JPG] [Description: J:\Users\Robin_2\Desktop\Gust Lock RV-10\Gust Lock Bracket RV -10 (4).JPG] [Description: J:\Users\Robin_2\Desktop\Gust Lock RV-10\Gust Lock Bracket RV -10 (6).JPG] The above design is made from solid stock. Had we to start from scratch we would probably build it out of thinner (lighter) aluminum made structurally sound with reinforcement and bends. Also properly designed a single seat s ide pin is all that would be needed. We ended up with two pins because the holes were already there from a prior concept. Mate this with our Rudder Gust Lock (below) and you have a pretty simple & small locking system. I keep both parts in a Ziploc bag stored in the bagga ge area.

    Looks great! Would it work on a RV7?
