Could somebody take a digital picture of this for me?? I have been told how it works, but would like a picture (or two, or more) of it so I can duplicate it.

I haven't found any excellent pictures at that link, and would still like some decent digital photos, if somebody has some spare time.

thanks

it is not from the parkhawk or anything from Mr Kinkade, but it shore makes it clear. It is a homemade glidelock on a Thunder ROC bird.

Thanks for the pic theo,

I had seen where the lever arm was on some kinkade pictures but could not find a decent picture of the "hook" end.

Think I'll fashion something like this myself.

Any other pics out there??

Here you go. As the large main gear turns forward the glide lock pivots over the small bolt on the main gear. If you cut the throttle at the right time the up pressure on the wings causes the main gear to reverse and the small bolt locks into the notch at the end of the glide lock. If you don't catch it the first time then give the throttle a small glitch until it does. Hope this helps you.

Excellent, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much Skyhigh, the help is much appreciated. Not only a pic but a print to boot!
