Wanted: Tail Dolly for Grob 102 Club III

[Mitch Deutsch]

The Mid-Georgia Soaring Association is looking for a tail dolly for a Grob
102 Club III, if such a piece of equipment exists. (Our ship this is the
version with a nose wheel, not the tail dragger version with the hole in the
bottom of the boom in front of the tailwheel).

Anyone know of the existence of one?

Thanks

Hi Mitch,

The version you are talking about is the Grob G 102 Club Astir III b,
the Club (as opposed to Standard) identifies the fixed gear version,
the b at the end indicates the version with the nose wheel. We have
one which we bought in Germany last year and it came with a proper
tail dolly and tow-out bar:

The tail dolly is no differnt from any other run of the mill tail
dolly, anybody familiar with fiberglass work should be able to build
one. The hardware needed for it (wheel with base, closures) should be
available at any home depot etc.

Just be sure to securely attach the wheel to the cuff. Don't ask me
how I know :-)
