Here is a picture of my towbar. Made from a piece of 1/4 in x 1 in aluminum bar and 1 in angle. It folds in the middle. I used bolts that fit into the allen head screws. I may change this to short pieces of tube that go on the outside of the bolts. I just use it to steer anyway. After I had the towbar I added two fingers to rest on the rudder pedals for a rudder gust lock and tied the seatbelt for the elevator and aileron. Then after seeing Allans gust lock I added a short piece of 1/2 in pipe and set it in the passenger side control stick. I made the stick removable with a Quick Release Button Connector. The final change was adding a short tube and bracket in the baggage compartment to store it while traveling.
