| Subject: | flight surfaces control lock |
Has anyone developed an inside cabin flight surfaces control lock that uses the
control stick and rudder pedals to hold both the rudder and ailerons in a safe
and secure position during high winds when airplane is tied down outside?
I am picturing in my mind a control lock similar to the kind used in Mooneys
-- the York Loc . Thanks, Barry

I don't see any need for the Rudder lock since the weight on the nose wheel
prevents the rudder from moving on the ground.

Thanks for getting back to me. I really appreciate it. I guess the only
thing needed then is to secure the control stick, which can be done with
the seat belt. Thanks again, Barry

That may be true and then even a rudder pedal lock wouldn't do the trick. In
that case I would probably use some sort of external control lock on the rudder
itself.

I cut a piece of polyethylene foam that fits around the stick to prevent side to
side motion and a short piece of nylon rope with a couple of "S" hooks to hold
the stick forward against the foam block.
