Reviews

The Airgizmo gust locks are a must for any plane. I brought my RV to OSH24 this year and forgot my gust locks. So when AS opened up, I picked up a set of these and they are fantastic. Easy on and off - visible, and lightweight.

Works well for the rudder on a PA28, but requires feeding the strap through the fastener each use. The paint used for the “remove before flight “ lettering falls off and leaves dusty residue on the aircraft. Minor problem which I’m sure will diminish as the device ages.

The locking clip is flimsy and inadequate and will come loose. Will return both units

I bought these to use as a control gust lock on the elevator of a Columbia 300. So far, they seem to work well.

Q&A

Please note, Aircraft Spruce's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: I see these are universal. Will these AirGizmos gust locks work well installing on C-152 and C-172 rudders?

Yes, these are universal and will work great with the aircraft you mentioned.

Q: Will the AirGizmos Universal Gust Lock (part # 13-06139) work on a RV rudder?

Per AirGizmos: Yes, this will work on an RV rudder just fine. The best place to install this is at the top at the counterweight. On an RV-10 you may need a step stool to reach that high.

Q: Can the orientation of the strap be rotated on the Airgizmos Gust Lock so that the locks are horizontal when used as a rudder lock?

The strap orientation cannot be rotated.

Q: Will these Airgizmos Gust Locks work for a 1979 cessna 182Q?

These gust locks are not aircraft specific but they should work fine. They fit most general aviation aircraft and the Cessna 182 is a common model and should be a good fit for these locks.

Q: Does it come in pair or you need to buy for one airplane?

No, these come as two halves as pictured.

Q: Will this Airgizmos Universal Gust Lock work on a Mooney M20C?

This is universal and should work fine with the Mooney M20C.

Q: Do gust locks like this require FAA approval for use? I could not find anything in the FAR. Was there some kind of FAA certification on these?

We do not believe they would as they are not used while the aircraft is in use, like pitot covers, or cowl plugs. However, we always recommend confirming with an A&P whenever using or installing any item to a certified aircraft.

Q: Will these AirGizmos Universal Gust Locks work for Vans RV6?

This is a universal fit and should be able to fit the Vans RV6.
