There used to be a gust lock available from Dennis Asby. I think he sold all of his stuff to Aircraft Spruce. Try them.
I hope this helps.

Gust Lock
by Joseph Munoz » Mon Oct 08, 2012 5:45 pmDoes anyone make a gust lock for the Comanche 250? If so any website info would be great. I know some of you use bungee cords. If so, what length?- Joseph Munoz

Re: Gust Lock

Re: Gust Lock
by Jay » Wed Oct 10, 2012 7:27 pmI use one bungee cord wrapped around the yokes plus a second that goes from the yoke bungee cord down to a rudder pedal. Light, simple, stows in a seat pocket and virtually impossible to forget to remove.Jay
