Did see someone in a 680 Commander
get out to take off a rudder clamp, that would have been found because
the excursions were not 'free'.

I once saw a renter pilot *return* from an apparently normal flight in a 172
with the rudder lock still installed. The fellow apparently never noticed!

Oh come on now. One on the empennage? You'd have to notice. You'd
need to be blind for starters! And what light aircraft pilot doesn't
push the pedals, even if it's just for a feel.

Sorry, that's even if said pilot doesn't do pre-T/O checks (which
include of course the; Controls, full & free). PS: I hope they just fly
solo and aren't anywhere near me
