Oh, and another thing....... While locking controls, it occurs that (perish
forbid) perhaps gusts above flying speed might be encountered...............
That would require a change in control surface alignment to reduce the risk
of wind damage. If this arises at Home Base then a two-by-four (inch stud)
or similar board could be affixed the length of the wing, or tail or both to
destroy lift.
The problem is When Away.
perhpas someone better qualified might want to contribute a solution,
but all I see at the moment is a hinged balsawood slat (say, 1 x 36" - 3cm x
1m) which is centred at wingtop centre of lift and held in place by small
bungees might dump any lift. The bungees could be anchored by rings sewn
into wing covers.....? the slats are positioned say 2/3 out from fuselage or
wherever better.
