cessna original equipment control lock

Post by kimble »

Does anyone have an original Cessna control lock? I have never seen one and would like to know if there is one in captivity.

The 170A I owned several years ago had an original Cessna control lock. It now lives in New York or somewhere. You might look it up (N9027A) and it's owner might take a picture of the control lock for you if he still has the control lock. He is not listed as a Association member.

Ralph,

I just looked up N9027A and it has been resold to someone in Keshera, WI, with registration pending. No name given.

I have a 56 170B that came with a control lock. It is fabricated from sheet aluminum, hooks around the lower part of the pilot yoke and secures to a small right angle clip on the floorboard in front of the pilot seat, and if I recall, at the rudder pedals. If that's the type you are researching, I'll take a pic and send it to you.
