Has anybody ever used an electric power chair or mobility chair as a Mooney tug? There are lots of used ones locally on FB Marketplace and they're significantly cheaper than dedicated aircraft tugs. These are highly maneuverable and could be rigged to connect to a tow bar. The seated operator will face the plane with the tow limits indicator in sight. The chair pictured has a 300 lb. load limit and weighs 160 lbs itself. My two biggest concerns are: will it have the towing power and traction to pull a Mooney? Thanks all!

Thanks very much! The shop that installed it has been around since avionics ran on steam (gauges) and ought to know. I'll run this by them.

I'm interested in the "pitch bobble" you have. I have a '92 M20J with a KAP-150. I upgraded to a GTN750 and Aspen ProMax and have a gentle nose up/down motion in some descents. A little bit of forward pressure on the yoke overcomes it. What's your experience with the KAP-150 and "nose bobble"? Thanks. Kevin
