Reviews

The Control Saver is brilliant! It solves the problem of securing the flight controls on my Arrow using a seatbelt, which Ive always hated. Its relatively easy to install, though the location and size of the screws on the side of the throttle quadrant makes the job a little fiddly but manageable. Definitely recommend.

Product works great to keep the controls secure and looks clean. I could not use the suggested screw hole in the directions to install the provided snap. Clearance issue on my Cherokee. Found another hole just below the suggested location that worked. This is for the older non-power quadrant Piper Cherokee panel.

Fits & looks nice. Hopefully will work as intended. Used Bungee Cords for decades hooked from the control yokes & Xd down to the seatbelt brackets on the tunnel. Came back after a weekend visit out of state only to find that the wind had whipped the yokes to the point that the bungee cords came off. Dont believe that can happen with this design.

Super easy to install and works fantastically. My instructor has them on his Archer and Cherokee 140 and it works great on my newly acquired 1967 Cherokee 180D. Took only 5 minutes to install with a screw driver.

Q: How does this connect to hold the yokes in stable neutral position?

Per supplier: This will connect together with a clip.

Q: Will this work for my 1967 PA-28-140 with bowtie style yokes?

No, it will only work with the horn style yokes.

Q: What is the maximum distance you can have between the two yokes? Wondering if this will work on my PA-23- cannot find any control lock for it- hoping this would work!
