Robin, if there are no clearance issues, then it looks like an excellent design.
Just out of curiosity, would this design also allow for an optional crotch belt?

Zero clearance issues.
I don't fully understand your question. Are you saying you have a crotch be
lt and want to know if our design will work when considering the belt attac
hment area? Because the -10 is the only movable seat in the RV line of airc
raft I don't see how anyone has a crotch belt for the front occupants. Not
sure where it attaches with the seat moving forward & back? That being said
our design should work because we basically attach forward of the leading
edge of the seat "bench" area.
Regardless there are MANY different ways to attach to the "bench" area, the
key was the hard point on the stick. Even that can be varied by having the
hard point facing forward vs. facing aft in my set up and making the actua
l gust lock grab around the stick and connect to the forward facing hard po
int opening. One could also make the attachment area "straddle" any items t
hat may be in the way. I drew up a few different concepts to consider (atta
ched).
The beauty of the forward facing hard point is that you can hang your fuzzy
dice or pine fresh smelling tree from the hole when not in use. :-)
Good luck,
Robin

Robin,
Did you consider a hinged piece on the gust lock itself that closes around
and captures the stick instead of attaching the locking tab? Drilling into
the stick shouldn't be an issue but it would be that much easier to install
and leave no trace if removed. Some form of capture method may work with
the larger diameter of a covered stick as well.

Yes our first concept was a complete failure (below).
The issue is the curvature of the stick. Note scratched stick. Bummer. The
hard point solved all the issues.
One could take this design and add a couple of legs to the base to support
the bracket from falling down. Plus an edge trim to prevent scuffing the st
ick. Keep in mind this all started with a discussion of parking your plane
outside during a sudden major weather event. What would surely prevent the
control surfaces from moving? This was our solution. There are others..
The stick hard point is very positive in locking the entire system together
.

Probably missed you, but Zamperini Field (Toa) is a good South Bay alternative,
with easy access to rental cars and the beach. Also Santa Monica (KSMO). Curious
if you actually landed at LAX, that would be an adventure worth reporting?
