Folks,



Any recommendations for moving the 601 around to / from its hangar?  I

would guess a tow/push bar for the nose wheel would work, but haven't

found one yet.  I normally pull / push at the prop hub.  Any ideas for

an inexpensive, easy way to do this or make one would be appreciated.



Thanks.

Tim,

I've got a page that describes tow bar and the travel stop for the 601.  

I've built a dozen or so

and have drawings on the page that show how to make one. The tow bar can 

fit on the shelf and you take it

with you for ground handling at any airport. Both are very light.

Enough info that you can make one or order them both for $100.00 total.

Scott made the actual tow bar from a crutch:

The big determination on how you attach the bar is if you have wheel pants

or not.

Thanks all for the ideas on the tow bar.  I'll probably go with the

crutch rig.  Tim

I  move mine (tricycle) backward by pulling on the rudder spar where it is 

open, and steer with the rudder.  Pull on the prop for forward.  KISS.
