Yep.
Should be pointed out to students in case the smaller ones think the
control has jammed.
Might also be a good time to remind everyone about the Airbus that
lost its fin. Not a good idea to go to full opposite rudder when
recovering from a sideslip unless at quite low speed.. Centralise the
rudder and let the yaw stability do its work.

I seem to recall an Astir when put into a heavy side slip will
remain with the rudder locked over in a steady state with gear doors
banging etc etc. The rudder took quite a bit of force to cetralise
the rudders if the speed was built up while in this state.
is this what you call Rudder Lock?
A question from many flights ago is answered. Is it found commonly
in Sailplanes or just a few?
