Makes sense, fair enough. I understand the footstep was connected mechanically to the flap over the handgrip behind the cockpit so when the pilot put his hand in that and pressed in the flap, the step would extend. But pics of unoccupied static Hurris show that there was a way of locking the step down. There is also that pic of restored R4118 airborne, with everything hanging - including the step.
