You do tie down the tail don't you? A piece of plastic pipe between the stick and front of the seat can keep it centered where you want the elevator to be.

The problem with that method is that it holds the elevator in the up position so the wind can get under it and lever the plane onto its back.  Been there done that.  Don't want to do it again.

I just use one of the seat belts around the stick. The rudder is a different matter but easily made yourself.

Anyone have experience with this brand of gust lock?

http://aircraftcontrollock.com/

We had massive aircraft damage all around the state with the storms that
blew through Friday. Many of my students and neighbors are still out of
power. I started looking at gust locks again and found these folks who
make them for LSA. They don't have a phone number though and my e-mail
as of Tuesday has not been answered. The biggest question I have is how
to they attach. The photos aren't very good but it looks like it may be
directly to the panel, which is most of our LSAs is flimsy plastic and
would not be my first choice for an attach point for a gust lock.
Anyone on the list have first hand experience with this brand and
preferably a contact number for the manufacturer?

Helen
