3.7 Pitch and Yaw Locks

To lock the pitch of the Aero body, use the included hex key to tighten the pitch lock screws as shown in Figure 3.4a
To lock the yaw of the yoke, remove the hex key from its storage location in the bottom of the yoke and reinsert it
with the long arm of the key down as shown in Figure 3.4b. Once the key is inserted all the way and protruding from
the bottom of the yoke, rotate the yoke clockwise until the key comes in contact with the magnetized stop on the
yaw pivot.
