Most of the jobs you can do without pulling or pushing on the prop. I have the opinion to pull on the prop or to push on the spinner is the better solution then to stress the nose gear. Have a look to the mechanical design and the load arm of the nose gear. Compared with the engine mount it makes no sense to apply to much force there.

I have one of those, they suck. There's no lock to hold it to the tow plate. As soon as you push or pull the plane and your hand turns it pops right off. The old style is the best one, if you can find one.

Subject: [LML] towbar?

 

Hi guys,

 

I see aerocraftparts.com has a towbar (p/n 801-0004) suitable for a 360.  Does anyone have any other recommendations for a suitable towbar?  I need to push back into a tiedown spot, and would prefer to pull out before starting to avoid hitting other planes with prop blast.  It would be nice to avoid pulling from the prop hub.

 

Thanks,

Keith
