Gust Lock

[Joseph Munoz]

Does anyone make a gust lock for the Comanche 250? If so any website info would be great. I know some of you use bungee cords. If so, what length?

I tie the twin with seatbelts - alternating left and right turns - unless I know a wind will come from a particular direction at that particular airport.

FYI,

There used to be a gust lock available from Dennis Asby. I think he sold all of his stuff to Aircraft Spruce. Try them.

I hope this helps.

Bungee cords of any length can be wrapped around yokes. I prefer them to seat belts which deflect the ailerons. Don't worry about the elevators except in a really big blow.

I use one bungee cord wrapped around the yokes plus a second that goes from the yoke bungee cord down to a rudder pedal. Light, simple, stows in a seat pocket and virtually impossible to forget to remove.

Thanks I appreciate the information.
