As an alternative to the tennis ball arrangement for gust locks, I
simply use the seatbelt around the yoke to hold the rudder and ailerons,
and an internal telescoping rudder lock between the pilot's pedals and
the anterior face of the spar box (photos attached). The latter is
lightweight and collapseable, fits easily into the baggage compartment,
and most importantly will not be inadvertently left in position when
taxiing for takeoff! I made up one for myself, but if there was
significant interest, I could check into having several made up.
