sometimes when you getting ready to depart from a remote location and you have family or friends seeing you off you can become distracted. such as when your Mother has to give you a box of tomatoes and a lecture about making relish during your pre-flight. it sure is nice to have the gust lock mounted inside so that you cannot depart without removing it. thanks Allan for good simple safe design. I use it all the time.
.... other than that, do people actually taxi without using the rudder?
According to their website, a gust lock is currently available for the RV-14. My buddy has one in his 14A and it works well. BTW-the original message is over 3 years old . . .
It’s only available for the Tosten sticks, won’t work with the stock sticks.
