 |
|
Looking for any good ideas, drawings or pix on making a control lock for the dual stick version of the 601XL. (No, I don't want to use the seat belts!)
Thanks,

Not there yet but how about a flat, triangular plate which fastens to the bottom lip of the control panel with wing nut quarter-turn fasteners and extends horizontally to meet the stick at its "parked" position? A U-shaped flange at the stick would allow a Velcro strap to clamp the stick to the plate. A little padding would keep the flange from scratching the stick.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT A BAR THAT YOU ENGAGE THE CENTER SPAR AND ALSO ENGAGE THE BRAKES FOR A PARKING BRAKE, JUST NOT AT THAT STAGE YET.

It's fairly easy to make exterior control locks for the 601xl. You just need a device to slide into the gap between the flap and aileron on one side and trap the aileron from above and below. Another similar device to slide between the elevator and the end fairing. Add a couple "Remove Before Flight" flags and you're done.
