Default ASG29 rudder lock

Field expedient overnight rudder lock: Run a strip of wing tape down BOTH sides of the rudder hinge line.

Works as well as any mechanical rudder lock I've seen or used (stops ALL rudder movement), does not damage the finish, easy to install and remove, materials always at hand (use some tape off a wing root if needed).

Field tested at wonderful Moriarty, where as we all know the wind doesn't blow, it sucks!
