I have it with Infinity grips and it works as advertised. I didn't make any mods to the stick or panel.

Phil,
Tim Olson has pretty good instructions on his web site to make your
own. I mostly followed his instructions, although I had to make a few
parts differently as I have Paul Grimstead's Rudder pedal system. I
have AntiSplat cowl flaps, and all his products are a bit spendy for
what they are.

I use the very slightly modified Bogart tow bar as a control (all 3 axes) gust lock. Works fine, no extra weight since I take the tow bar everywhere anyway.

I have the Antisplat Aero gust lock. It is easy to install and works well. Connects to control stick several inches below the stick grip. A gage is included, which tells you where to mount the attachment bracket on the curved part of the stick. I do not see how it could interfere with any stick grip

Bill,
That's very similar to what I was thinking of making. Does it hold the stick well in roll also?
My cargo strap around the taillight for a rudder lock isn't very professional looking, but it works great.
Thanks,
Marcus

Yes, it holds the stick and the rudder pedals. I have a #8 screw with a castellated nut that protrudes through the front web that secures the end of the gust lock from lateral movement. You can see it in the photos. Total cost under $10.

Sorry no picture. I have a PVC model that is an "H". One of my first locks
tied in the stick and it failed when I needed it the most and I got rudder
damage. So I use the "H" pvc for the rudder and seat belt for the Stick.

I built the PVC gust lock and have been happy with the results as well. Mine looks exactly like the one above, except it doesn't lock the stick. It just goes straight back and wedges on the back wall of the foot well. I use the seat belt for the stick.

I made my gust lock similar to all the ones shown out of PVC and an extendable paint roller pole. The ends fit into the top of the break pedals and work as a parking break when installed. A small Velcro strap holds the stick tight against the assembly. The whole thing holds the breaks, rudder, elevator and ailerons when installed.

I used it for a while as is, then added two welded tabs to insure that is stays jammed in the rudder pedals. Here's some more info:
