Larger towbar?

@A64Pilot kinda got the same idea going but more like a mini tug with hydraulics to lift the scoop. I scored 2 mobility scooters for motors and electrics just need get busy and start building

I don’t have the tooling like I used to, and I got spoiled working in a aircraft factory where pieces parts and machinists / welders etc was free.

‘I’m also airplane poor at the moment so today I’m going to Lowe’s and buying some pipe and knocking something easy together and use the golf cart, just have to be real careful and I assume I’ll be OK.

‘Both my knees are shot, really years beyond needing replacing and I can’t do Sun-N-Fun because of it, been afraid of the surgery and waiting until the replacements get better and me to be old enough so a set ought to last the rest of my life, so pulling an airplane by hand is way harder on me than it used to be, yesterday I got the Mooney out so I could fly the 140 around and my knees hurt so bad I didn’t sleep well last night, so off to Lowe’s I go.

Eventually I may buy Don Muncy’s tow bar once funds free up. I hope it’s Ok to say that, it’s several hundred dollars cheaper than most alternatives and his colors worked out well for me.
