Tail DRAGGER

I especially love the speed when I am going down to another hangar for a pull out. It is so sweet, and the battery stays charged for quite a while. I tried another brand, and it was too slow, so I like the better speed. The Dragger makes towing heavy aircraft easy. I love it. And I know I can handle things all by myself.

I had to send you an e mail re the above. I am delighted with the manual “dragger” that you sent to me. It is every thing that you said it would be, and makes moving my citabria a very pleasant chore. I can now take the citabria both out, and in to the hangar, alone, and with minimum effort . My “t” hangar requires me to make a 90° turn at the end of the “apron” before setting up for a flight. The operation of raising the tail wheel, permits that turn with ease. I am a very pleased citabria pilot, and will recommend this product everyone. Thank You

I love my electric tail dragger – it’s super easy, the 24 volt is great power, and I love the variable speed. It makes it possible for me to move my Stearman around and watch/clear the wingtips and position her precisely that I would never be able to do manually, especially over some grade and the lip between my hangar door and the apron. Plenty of power. A gas powered version would not have worked for me because I’m so short I don’t have the arm throw to start the motor with the pull-cord! I’ll be using the tug on my Cessna 170A as soon as we get her out of restoration – and love the fact that just by moving the plate we can accommodate different tailwheel sizes. The biggest issue we’ve had is if the tailwheel is a bit low on pressure, it will “melt” between the plates. But with proper pressure, it’s not a problem. Scooching the plates under the tailwheel takes a little technique, but once you figure it out, it’s easy. The tug’s tires can spin if you have a slick hangar floor and don’t have equal pressure on each tire or you give it too much “throttle”, but again a little practice and technique makes this a non-issue. Love my tug and would recommend as a necessity to anyone else who wants to fly their plane a lot and needs to maneuver in/out of a hangar.

I looked at the welds, paint work, finish and the quality that was put into this product. It is excellent work. Pat Barrett, President, IAC Chapter 126.
