I'm looking for suggestions for a tow bar for an RV-7A. Just getting a little too hard to maneuver in and out of the hangar for this old back. Are there any companies that make them. All help appreciated in advance. Thanks.

It works on the RV-10 and RV-6A/7A/8A/9A. http://bogertaviation.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details &flypage=garden_flypage.tpl&product_id=138&category_id=3&option=com_virtuema rt&Itemid=23 While I have used a tractor to towed both an RV-10 and an 8A with it, 90% of the time I just hand move the plane by hand. The bar provides for very steady footing. This is a not something to carry with you in the plane.
