Subject: | Re: flight surfaces control lock |
Barry,
I don't tie my 601XL down very much outside, but when I do, such as at Oshkosh,
I use a ratchet strap. It hooks from one rudder pedal on the right to another
on the left with a loop around my center control stick. It is a little clumsy
to put on, but I only do it once in a great while, so I don't mind it. The
only picture I could find was one I took a Oshkosh, but it only shows where it
loops around the stick.
Good luck,
--------

I suffered considerable damage to ailerons and rudder last summer when a 70
mph wind caught my plane from behind. The rudder damage was probably caus
ed due to the tail tie down pulling out. I had been using the bungee cord
control stick tie down method for a number of years but the wind from behi
nd shredded the aileron at the control horn on both sides.
The control surfaces have been rebuilt and as the aircraft is tied down out
side I wanted a gust lock that didn=99t put a load on the aileron a
t the control horn. My solution was to make a frame from PVC pipe that fit
s into the gap at the wing tip. I tried attaching a photo, hope you can se
e it. Another PVC pipe gust lock is attached to the elevator.
For the rudder I=99m relying on ratchet straps and better ground sta
kes.
If anybody's interested I can get more pictures of the gust locks next time
out to the airport.

My souls, how the wind did scream along! And everysecond or two thered come
a glare that lit up the white-caps for a halfa mile around, and youd see the islands
looking dusty through the rain,and the trees thrashing around in the wind;
then comes a H-WHACK!--bum!bum! bumble-umble-um-bum-bum-bum-bum--and the thunder
would go rumblingand grumbling away, and quit--and then RIP comes another
flash andanother sockdolager. luanne aeccestane
