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?

There is a kitplanes article where someone made a tow unit using a
windshield wiper motor and gearbox.
