    I've been using them for a few years on RVs. I like them; they hold all 3 axes firmly and stay in place.
    I did have the webbing on one deteriorate and fail. The replacement was a different material and needed a smaller slotted fitting, so that may be an issue that they've fixed.

    I had a comment from someone with a nosewheel RV that he couldn't easily reach to fix it atop of the rudder.

    Yea, thats my problem. Even though I am 6'1" I can't reach the top of the rudder on my -9A. I guess I could always have my 6'4" son along....
