I recently became a first time aircraft owner and I'm quickly realizing
that with the uneven pavement on the ramp to my hanger, and the 2600lb empty weight of the plane, I'm going to have to resign to getting some form of aircraft tug. Looking at the Sporty's catalog, there are two types listed, the Robotow and the VThrust tugs. Does anyone have any experience with either of these? My plane is set up for a towbar with pins on either side that enter both ends of the axle on the nose wheel. Do either of these fit that type of attachment? Also, would this type of towbar be a Beechcraft standard fitting? I'm very familiar with Cessna and Piper towbars and the Pilatus definitely doesn't fit either of those (I need to go look at a Bonanza nose gear at the airport tomorrow to see if it resembles mine). Any feedback on pros or cons of these tugs would be appreciated. Thanks, Eric Bartsch 1959 Pilatus P-3 N848AD |
