This is why, in the airlines, we do a control check before every flight. GA pilots should do one always as well.

When I was a kid my dad wrote him a letter for me. He wrote back and included a Tomcat patch. I still have both.

Why doesn’t the control locking mechanism lock out the throttle and carb?

I pulled over to let another pilot pass on the taxiway only to see he failed to remove his rudder lock. He thanked me, jumped out, removed it and took off. 😳
