Gust lock

[DonMuncy]

I got tired of using a seat belt for a gust lock and having it chafe my leather yoke covers. I came up with a device that holds the ailerons and elevator firmly, doesn't weigh too much, is fairly easy to hook up and not expensive to build.

we developed this for our ailerons. It  cost us $2.89  The elevator is spring loaded with some serious force and the rudder is also pretty held stiff by the nosewheel, so we did without on those.

I just drop the front seats back forward placing the headrest in between the yoke handles. Works very well for ailerons and elevator. It also keeps the seats from sun exposure.
