Hi,

we are planning on getting a locking tailwheel on our S-1, just ordered one from Raven.
So far, changing from the actual one to a locking one on the rear seems simple and easy. But I've never seen any pics how the control handle looks inside the cockpit. For sure there are many different methods, but I'm not quite happy with the ones that came to my mind...so maybe a few people here will share how they did that?

Thanks in advance
Patric
