Rudder movement is handled by a control lock which attaches to the
back seat pedals and stick.
I have found the simplest way to prevent controls from flopping
around, but not quite locked is to use a stiff bungee cord. Put hooks
around REAR rudder pedals, pulling forward, and cord over FRONT
control stick, pulling aft. This is compact and 99% effective for
most ground handling and gust conditions. A more solid arrangement is
needed for overnight protection, so a cuff placed over the vertical
fin and standard external aileron locks are best as they prevent any
loads being placed on the pushrods and cables during long term outdoor
storage.
