Sidewinder

[Steve Dawson]

I had a sidewinder for my J but unfortunately the person that bought my plane realized how versatile they are so he wanted it with the purchase. When I bought the Bravo the seller included a RoboTow. It's pretty good and will tow the plane over a 1/2 mile on one battery. That said I ordered a Redline Sidewinder and I'm selling the RoboTow if you're interested?

I discovered this "power assist" technique for my Sidewinder today.

11 pounds of chocks hanging from the drill handle made a difference. I was holding the chocks while moving the airplane back into the hangar and needed another hand to push her back in over the hangar lip. So I draped the chocks over the Sidewinder handle and proceeded. After which I thought, "Hey... not a bad idea."

Cheers,
Rick

When you figure out the remote control technique I'll be really impressed . . .lol
