Cessna 152's can have rudder lock too......
It helps to remove the rudder lock during pre-flight, it was discovered on
climbout.
NO I was not the pilot in command just a R/H pax on a ferry flight , tho the
fo-par costed the command pilot a lot of money in the bar that night.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Rudder lock?
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?
James.
