That would be my preference. It's light and cheap, and is pretty sure
to do the job at hand. Remember that you're not trying to completely
immobilize the rudder, you're just trying to prevent it from hammering
against its stops.

Thanks, Bob K.


It's exactly what we use on our G103. Only mod is that we use a
hitch pin at the trailing edge rather than rope.
