[f-AA] Electric powered taildragger tugs

[Nano Farabaugh]

Fellows, 

It is getting more difficult for me to push out my champ with the taildragger dragger. Due to my size and age there will be a time I may not be able to do so. I want to continue to fly as long as I can. 

Have any of you bought the Mini max aircraft tugs? And what is your evaluation of it?

I have a friend who bought one and uses it to move a 172.

Keeping everything tight has been problematic. When the joints get loose the drive linkage slips.

Not quite what you are asking about, but this is what I built from a snowblower, a lawn tractor starter motor, and some pulleys.  Second video is after some modification.  JImChuk   Taildragger dragger      Home made airplane tug

Exactly the same issue at Richard.

The joints wear then tend to get sloppy.

At that point the drive gear slips.

At times it's a bit awkward and I'm pulling a light Carbon Cub.
