Can anyone give me a brand and location to purchase a tow bar for the 10 which works well with the nose faring?

  

 Thanks

Bogert makes a tow bar that Spruce sells for the -10.  It works great.

Search for Bogart tow bars, they make one specifically for the RV-10 and it works great for me.

Yep, the Bogert bar.

     

     One thing I'm looking for now is a rudder lock.  Someone has pics of     a "Bogert-like tow bar" doubling as rudder lock that looks like it     might be great.  However, I tried to see if the actual Bogie bar can     be made to fit - and not luck.  

     

     Can someone elaborate on the tow bar as rudder lock solution?  Was     it a Bogie bar?  What brand was it.

I used the Bogert tow bar and added a couple of carriage  bolts on the bottom end to fit in the holes in the rudder peddles.  I slide  the seat forward onto the tow bar top T and tie the seat belt around the stick  and the tow bar for a secure set up.  Unfortunately I do not have pictures,  but the key is to not allow the tow bar to fall off of the rudder peddles and  the large head of the carriage bolts keeps it in place and also puts mild  pressure on the brakes to hold the plane steady in a blow.  It is simple,  you always have it with you and there is no extra weight to carry  around.

Bill,



I had a couple tabs welded onto my Bogie Bar so they fit between the rudder pedal and the tube.Â  That locks the bar in place.Â  Just had to make sure the tabs are positioned so they don't interfere with the nose fairing.Â  Pictures are in the archive.

  

Then I added a bungee on one of the pivot bolts.Â  The stick rests in the V of the lever handle, and the bungee wraps around the stick to secure the ailerons.



Then clamp the whole thing down with the seat belt.Â  See pics in the archives from 10 June 2010.

Thanks Dave,



I actually saw that and tried to figure out how the bar was made to fit 

in there.  Couldn't quite do it and assumed it was a non-Bogie Bar.  

I'll have to take a closer look and try again.  I understand the tab 

thing.  Had some trouble with fitting my stick tops thru the V... more 

evaluation required.
