I have not been comfortable with the seatbelt as a control lock so I decided to find a better solution. This is the devise I now have.
It's made from 1/2" square tubing with a 1/8" slot cut the length of one side. (the base)
A 5/16" rod fits inside the tube, so it's welded to .063" sheet shaped and bent to an angle matching that of the control stick.(the lock)
The base is mounted to the gear box cross brace with screws. The lock slides across through the slotted base. Velcro fits through a slot in the lock and is sewn in place. The Velcro wraps the grip, holding the controls firmly in place.
I now have a light and practical control lock. I hope you agree.
