I have been wrestling with the problem of an effective way of a way to single handedly
move the Europa around without using the prop. I would like to use a conventional
type hitch to nose wheel that has a speed kit. If anyone has any bright
ideas, please let me know, either direct on handfordp@aol.com or via the
forum. Thank you, Peter.

What is wrong with using the prop ? When running it takes a
much greater load than you could apply by pulling !
Normally any nosewheel device is used for steering, not
for pulling !
Having said all that I have a lug on one side of the
nosewheel shaft, which protrudes through a hole in the
spat and to which I can connect a long handle with a
matching female for the lug. i use it only for steering
though !

Peter,
I have a very strong, sturdy solution for use in/around my home airport
hangar. Too heavy and too long fork to carry on board during flight, but
great for pulling and steering. Have also used it for towing through snow
behind my car (at the airport only!). When at other airports, I move the
aircraft around by pulling/pushing on two propeller blade roots.
I will take some photographs and post them on this forum tomorrow afternoon.
Regards,
Svein
