Looking for tow bars that work well for Europa.

Thanks!

Jerry,

I had a design I made, built for me and a number of Europa builders here. Stainless steel.

Simply attaches to the tail wheel axle bolt and closed up by a plastic tie.

Works very well, easy to carry although I don’t normally take it with me as manoeuvring the aircraft on the ground is relatively straightforward

Jerry, The clear best answer for me is one made of rope - light weight, drop it in the back without risk of damaging fibreglass, no great matter if you forget to take it off when departing. Make it yourself from thickish rope (about 15mm diameter - just right to fill gaps between big washers on tailwheel axel and not to cut into hands when pulling on it), if you can spice, if not ask a sailing friend. Two small loops with splices to fit on wheel; cross over splice about 8 ins back, about 3 or 4 ft loop to get hold of and pull on, all splices covered with heat shrink. Will send a photo when next visiting plane. David Joyce, GXSDJ

Jerry,

I find the Aircraft Spruce sold Ground Support Towbar for Scott Tailwheels to be fine for around the hangar push pull ops.

Otherwise, the lightweight ski rope with a piece of hose for a handgrip is great for XC use.



Best Regards,

Bud Yerly
