I suspect the geometry regarding the cable may be tricky to get right?? My L-29, a year down the road, has finally flown - and is working well, bar a faulty radio installation. On that subject, does one normally rewire the comm radio to the existing antenna, with converter plug from BNC to N-type, or replace entire cable? Ta, Regards Jorgen ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:25:17 PM PST US From: Bill Geipel Subject: Re: L29-List: Tow Bar --> L29-List message posted by: Bill Geipel Tow bar: best to have cables. Nose wheel retracts forward so you are putting stress on the gear leg against the down locks. However, a nice level, smooth surface and a smooth driver should be okay. Many have used the existing attenna and wire. Works fine. (comm only) Doug Weske has tow bars. 763-792-0957.
