Re: [Aus-soaring] Rudder lock?
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.

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?

Re: [Aus-soaring] Rudder lock?
It helps to remove the rudder lock during pre-flight, it was discovered on climbout. That is very poor airmanship, the pilot in command is lucky that nothing worse happened. I have flown C152's, a rudder lock should be obvious on the pre-flight walk around. I also do a full and free control check as part of the walk around too, and in a C152, the tail is very easily seen from the cockpit. Surely the pilot in command would have noticed something wrong whilst taxying, or was he using toe brakes to steer? ___ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
