Galin,
I can appreciate the issue more than you realize.=C2- I have tried to use
the Jazzy Wheelchair that I have on a several occasions but ONLY when ther
e is nobody else around.=C2- Using a joy stick control with 360 degree mo
vement and trying to push the plane back reminded me of the old Keystone Co
ps routines.=C2- I could never figure out which way to move the joy stick
to get the desired results.=C2- Took several times longer than just push
ing it back by hand which is always fun since I can't see where I am going
when trying to push it back.=C2- I have to bend down and push back to get
the leverage which also makes it impossible to see where the tail is going
. =C2-
Oh the burdens we must bear....as my wife reminds me every time I mention i

With a full tank of fuel it is difficult to push the airplane in to the han
gar without help. Additionally, the airplane wash racks/fuel pumps are a go
od distance from our hangar and requires towing the airplane on active taxi
ways. So, I bought a 1994 Montgomery Wards riding mower, rebuilt it and mad
e it into an airplane tug. Here is a link to our web page with photos of wh
at I did.

I have helped a friend move his aircraft with a tug. A lot more difficult t
han it seems. Much like driving in reverse with a trailer.
Keep well

Galin,

Jazzy Wheelchair that I have on a several occasions but ONLY when there is
nobody else around. Using a joy stick control with 360 degree movement and
trying to push the plane back reminded me of the old Keystone Cops routine
s. I could never figure out which way to move the joy stick to get the des
