 Yes!� 

 �

 It's not too expensive a system,�either.

 �

 Sit down.� Before you buckle your seat belt, press on the rudder peddals. 

 �

 If they do not move, get up, exit, remove gust lock.

 �

 Return to cockpit.

Put a long bungee on it that hooks to the door handle.  Take it off before

you open the door.

Sporty's has a Remove Before Flight key chain. Works well on the control 

yoke.

Or, you could use MY method, which is better exercise and uses avgas at the  same time!

 �

 1) preflight

 2) strap in, start engine

 3) THEN press on pedals

 4) shut down engine

 5) exit airplane & remove gust lock

 6) repeat step 2.

 �

 You'd think I've outgrown that by now, but I still do that once a year,  without fail.

When I was transitioning into my 680F, I forget the gust lock.  My

instructor knew that I had forgotten it, and let me start the engines and

get ready to taxi, when I realized that the rudders were rigid...oops.  Had

to shut down, go out and remove the gust lock.  I've never forgotten since.

JimBob has a check list item

"Put Rubber Chicken under back seat"

as the first item on his check list.

Yeah, but not just *any* pilot can qualify for a rubber chicken.

You have to have blown the gust-lock off at least once on take-off before

the rubber chicken is earned.

Hang a 6 to 7 foot piece of red material (like woven tie-downs) off the gust

lock you insert through the rudder and you cant miss it in your

pre-flight...

Has anyone heard of the guy that just could not remember the lock, and had a

tie down installed and attached it to an aircraft tire full of concrete, and

still forgot and took off with the tire in tow. It sailed sort of like a

trailer... However, this would work to remove the lock if you forgot, and

did not attach it to the tie down
