Good Day All,

Ok a very elementary question....where can one find a control lock for a 1973 cessna 182P? You know...just the pin style with the red metal flag that your place through the hole in the control column. I have looked everwhere to try and buy one but no luck. I thought you could get one of these anywhere!! My mistake.

Also...anyone have any pictures of some homemade rudder gust locks that they have made or know whre to buy one?

Cheers

Make one. Pretty simple to do.

One on eBay right now, http://www.ebay.com/itm/CESSNA-GUST-LOC ... ar&vxp=mtr

I made one for my C-172 that slips over the throttle, pretty simple to do.
this is what happens when you use an AN-3 bolt for a gust lock in a Cessna.
