Hey all. I'm looking to surprise the wife with a motorized tow for
our C210. Robotow makes a really interesting thing that's powered by
a cordless drill.. It's a thousand bucks. Was really hoping to
create something more affordable. Anybody got an ideas or plans for
something similar?

I have seen rigs that have a "towbar looking" arm that hooks onto the plane's
axle, and has the bar curved upwards before coming forward. A drill is mounted
on the arm with a driver wheel chucked into the drill, so when the bar is pushed
downwards the driver in the drill presses against the tire and a linkage is used
to control the trigger on the drill.

Get out in the shop, and start cutting and welding metal! g
