Gust lock for Beechcraft Debonair

[Blueangel]

The seller doesn't have one for the plane and I'm having trouble finding place that sells an affordable gust look for the Debonair that isn't super expensive. Any ideas where to look? Seat belts are the free option of course but rather have a real yoke gust lock.

go to your local farm supply store and shop their collection of PTO locking pins. If you're not familiar, it's a smooth pin with a half-circle retaining clip. One of them will be the perfect size. Put a little heat shrink or tape on the end of the clip so it doesn't scratch the control arm shaft. Don't forget to add a "remove before flight" streamer. Here's what mine looks like:

Thanks Jeff,

Really appreciate this useful tip what a great idea! Oz must be an amazing place to live and fly.
