HiFlite Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Ximangos are heavy and have about 155 lbs supported by the tailwheel. I could use some help getting it into and out of my crude hangar. I don't see a commercial solution to grabbing the tail without heavy modification. Anyone come up with a good one? Or perhaps use this robot "platform" type robot? https://acairtechnology.com/product/ac-tracktech-t-mini-grab-cradle/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermalseeker Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I have a "nose dragger dragger" that was left by a previous hangar tenant. The way it's built there isn't enough weight on the wheels of the dragger to move a Ximango by the tailwheel. I could probably modify it so it would work, but it would take a lot of cutting and welding. This looks like a much better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
