Lindbergh Aircraft Tug Co.

Morning,

Has anyone had any experience with the Lindbergh?

I was looking at the AircraftCaddy 4K.

Thank you,

Nate

None here, but if you're looking at their remote control option you should also consider this new one out I saw at AOPA Summit last week:

http://www.acairtechnology.com/ No idea how expensive the lindbergh model is but you'll see the price the AC Air Technology's tug.

Pretty high tech - Its got to be the new cat's meow for a high end tug!

Paul,

Thank you for your idea.... I was looking at something good hopefully... a tow cart that would last and I would have to duplicate it say two years down

the road.

Thanks again, Nate

Nate, I use one of the popular Power Tows (40EZ) and I have yet to hear of someone getting less than a decade out of one. So choose wisely, any of the quality brands should last you a long time.

One comment on the Lindbergh, I noted you need to bend down and screw the nose wheel attachment into position compared to the Power Tow unit I use that clamps into position held by spring force. I would be a bit concerned about denting the nose gear truss if the Lindbergh attachment holds on so well that it allows you apply force past the stops without popping off like my Power Tow unit. In contrast, the latter is held in place by adjustable spring tension that will detach before enough force can be applied to hurt/dent the truss. Secondly with all the units that you hold onto, you can feel the nose wheel hit the stops; but with any remote control unit one has to be extra careful not to allow it to overturn the nose wheel.
