well aslo take from this video not to use seatbelts as control locks. Had he used control locks and not the seat belt, it wouldnt have happened even if it still wasnt tied down.

Not all planes were designed with control locks. Cherokee POH for example actually tells you to use seat belts.

Yes, I know, i fly them. But thats a lack of designed internal control locks (yoke pin,etc )... there is no reason someone cant by physical control locks for their plane or even make them themself. All it is is a wedge that fits in between the control surface and the the adjacent surface. Even for a piper, one wouldnt be too hard to make up if they dont make them.

On our C-123K, it has an internal control lock right next to the left seat (physically locks the cables in place), but we still put physical locks on the rudder and elevator just in case.

You can't expect everyone to make their own, I think most people will just listen to the POH.

I think the main cause of this was the lack of tie down, the control lock did have a part in it but it was minor and I don't know whether or not the airplane would have stayed down if the control lock kept the elevators straight or down.
