Unlike most towing devices one cannot excede the towing turn limits on the nosegear. This also allows the airplane to pivot inside it's on wingspan with only a 6" clearance. They even have studded wheels for towing on ice. I cannot recommend using differental braking in your IVP on ice, (been there, don't ask), also very hard on a painted hangar floor. I have a 2 1/2 inch rise over a 6 inch horizantal distance on my hangar entrance and it works well. You may have seen the Itowbot at Sun-n-Fun or Airventure. Check it out on their website.
