Stowable dolly for taxing by DG Flugzeugbau

Yeah, had one on DG808, never used it: says it all really. It
was easier to use the car to tow out if the ground was rough
or taxi at high speed and fly the wings on the ground. This is
quite alarming for both the pilot and onlookers!

I have one - I got it when I got my DG808CCompetition in

good on

that is why I bought it. But in practice, a pain in the neck.
The DG 400

taxiing.
