Actually I am in the same boat. I just bought a Ka-6 without tow out
gear. I was thinking of cobbling together my own, but I'd love to see
some examples first.


There's a Ka-6 in my club. Its tow-out gear looks remarkably like the
stuff I use on my Libelle. He has a fairly broad tail dolly collar, at
least 3/4 as wide as its diameter, with the usual clip-on tow-bar, which
has a U-shaped platform for the tail skid. I don't recall anything unusual
about the wing dolly.

Sounds like something that could be built. anyone got any suggestions
on making your own tail dolly? I was thinking of using the fuse as a
mold for some fiberglass (with a layer of plasic as a release of
course).

any input?

thanks
