Steve Sliwa Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Posted September 15, 2012 At the XOPA.org website, we had some questions about possible designs for a towbar, tail-dolly, or towbot. I have been looking for something and to get feedback from vendors I created the attached document. The tow bar pictured was designed and manufactured by Keith Phillips of XimangoUSA.Hope this is helpful.Tailwheel Dimension Studyb.pdf Quote

Thermalseeker Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 Good idea, Steve. I cringe every time I see someone yanking a Rotax powered airplane around by the prop. Rotax cautions against pushing or pulling on the prop to move the airplane because it puts an enormous amount of stress on the gear box.Regards,John LawtonWhitwell, TN (TN89)Ximango #135 Quote
