NoseDragger Dragger

[AXA]

Hello,

Has anyone ever purchased or use this tow from www.dragger.com?
Spruce sells it as well.

I need to push an aircraft up a small slope. I'm concerned that this
product would try a pull/push UNDER the nose wheel if too much
resistance is against the plane. It doesn't take too much to lift the
nose of most small aircraft.

If you have any input about this product, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

I am part owner of one. While I don't have much of a slope to contend
with, I don't think it will be a problem. I've started to push my
Cherokee Six a couple times with the parking brake set, and all it does is
lurch. If it was going to be a problem, I would expect to see it in this
instance as well. You do have to be careful with wheel pants though, it
is not naturally balanced and tends to rock so that the handle goes down
before you get it fastened around the wheel. that can chip up the lower
edge of your wheel pant. If it is being used on several different planes,
it can be a pain to keep adjusting for different nosewheel sizes. All and
all, it isn't bad and serves its purpose.
