I have one for my -9A. I?ll say that it works well, but during my first several uses I didn?t find it intuitive at all. Once I figured it out, it?s quite simple and fast to use. The video posted online didn?t really help me to learn to use it.

Yes - agree. I tried it a few times - then went and re watched his video and realized I was installing it incorrectly. I was doing pedals first and having some difficulty. Switched to stick first and it all made much more sense.

I tried some external locks on my 8. I purchased the Anti-Splat and find it the best for me. Its compact and does a good job. The draw back if having to get into the plane to remove it does not seem to be a big factor for me.

Its extremely well made.

Yes, tough the first couple of times. Much easier if you don't collapse the telescoping part, as it's kinda fiddly to line up the holes and insert the pin. Hats off to Allan for designing it...a nice piece of kit, as the Brits like to say.
