You may have already seen this or are otherwise aware of the Bogi-Bar
solution.
Still working well here as long as I remember to put it on. Locks
rudder 'softly' limits ailerons and elevator from hitting stops. It
works well without any modification. Works better with welded on tabs
to fit into rudder pedals.
Bogi-Bar use as gust lock
