There are no laws requiring you to lock up your car, your RV, or,
in many states, your guns. But lawmakers in Pennsylvania want to
require not one, but two, locks for all general aviation aircraft
and create criminal penalties for failing to use them—a move AOPA
strongly opposes.


before you go silly on this.

get two pieces of alooominum.
bend them into U shapes big/small enough to drape over the rods behind
the knobs for the throttle and mixture.
drill a hole through the tabs that hang down. put an el cheapo
letterbox lock out of home depot through each tab.

you've met the intent of the law and really ****ed off anyone who
wants to steal your aircraft.

in australia we'd get these cheapo made in china lockwood locks in
blister packs of 4 from Bunnings. You'll have to go to the american
clone - home depot.
