    Vernier Throttle Lock Vernier Throttle Lock
    Rated 4.5/5 based on 2 customer reviews
    Product description: This lock completely covers and locks your aircraft’s throttle and it's quick and easy to use. With a turn of the key your throttle is locked and impossible to use—effectively protects your aircraft from theft. One customer reports: "...thieves attempting to steal the airplane tried to break the lock by hammering it but broke the throttle shaft instead which prevented them from flying the plane." Constructed of heavy, high tensile steel and secured by a German stainless steel lock. The gray lock is designed for vernier-type throttles (push, pull and twist) or mixture controls, the orange for non-vernier-types (push and pull only). For use with single-engine aircraft with push-pull rod throttles. A simple-to-use, highly effective theft deterrent at a reasonable price.

    Better than getting plane stolen!!
    Pros

    This product is definitely durable and would be very difficult to break. I did NOT order the orange one, so I cannot comment on that particular item.

    Cons

    It is a little heavier than I had hoped. Sure, it needs to be strong. But, I think this could still be accomplished while putting less pressure on the fuel mixture.

    Make sure the fuel rod is COMPLETELY lean. For me, simply pulling it back to lean made the product not fit when trying to place the lock on. I had to pull it fully back and then twist it just a little more to get the lock to fit properly.

    Even so, this is a perfect solution for me as my canopy doesn't lock and there is no key (push to start). This is a simple piece of added security for the rare times it is left outside during travel.
