Has anyone come up with a good method for installing gust locks on the rudder / flight controls?
It seems it would be a good idea if you were going to park outside for any length of time.

We have modified the towbar that we get from Spruce to include little tubes that fit in the rudder pedal holes, then you put the stick through the hole in the fork between the fork and the handle, the handle against the front seat back, the seat back forward to put pressure on the brakes and/or rudder pedals, and the seatbelt around the stick to hold it back against to fork. It is a little jury rigged, but it seems to work very well.

I'll perhaps shoot some photos today of a couple of them, as I've added
a little to mine.
