I know some manufactures no longer make control locks for liability
reasons. People would try to take off with the control lock still in
place and crash; then sue the manufacturer. Seems really stupid, but
thats what I heard.

Of all the things to sue over, that seems lamer than most. And, if that's
the case, why do they still make, say, pitot covers? Or fuel gauges only
accurate at "Empty"? Or tow bars?

(Or, if not lamer to sue over, then lamer to stop manufacturing over.)
