Hi guys

 

As I am new to mooneys and read this thread I was wondering if you cold give me some expert advice. I am winching my mooney into my hangar a per picture below. Can any damage be done with the sling I have hooked around the nose gear in the position on the pic? This is where the tow bar hooks anyway?

 

Thanks

You'll be fine. Where the damage usually occurs is when someone turns the plane too far right or left when towing and dents the nose truss.

at first I thought you meant you were towing it in backwards but pulling from the nose..... now that would not be a good thing but what your doing is fine

I also can not imagine much of a problem towing forward using the tow bar hole... except, are you using rope or steel cable? In the photo it sort of looks like that cotton rope with a red stripe on it. The only thing that I would worry about is if it is rope and the rope breaks, you might have one heck of a runaway problem. I would hate to see your tail damaged or something worse.
