The Cessna family had a simple yoke lock with a pin running through the control column.
I don’t know why by Piper never adopted this system which would have overcome the loose tailplane in winds. I was like many taught by flying instructors to lock the controls using the seat belt method. The same instructors saw three Tomahawks on their backs after a gusty night.
The ubiquitous small concrete blocks or five gallon water drums are locked to aircraft around the world assuming these will defend a forty knot gale gusting sixty. Outside parking demands locking the aeroplane to the likes of steel cables seen in airports across the USA.
