Skeet, I know you're well meaning --


But you're outa touch ! The a$$hole thieves are smarter then you give them credit for--they can freeze the locks right off and are doing it !

bEERCAN:

What type of Frezzing Material is being used.
The Cat People have some very special Chains and Locks, I would like to look into this.


Thanks

I would suggest that when in Baja and away from your Aircraft that you use a very, very Heavy Chain and Lock around the Hub of the Prop.

Most Thieves in Mexico do not carry Chain Cutters just for Aircraft. It only takes a small Length of Chain and a very Heavy Duty Lock of Titaminum Steel.

The problem is the thieves are getting brazen. They hang around until you come to preflight it and then put a gun to your head and take it.

How about a concelled gas shut off valve, leaving just enough fuel to get airborne.

I found this lock for airplane wheels while searching for alarms for my truck. I know absolutely nothing about airplanes, but this seems a lot simpler than a lot of the ideas mentioned in the previous threads.
