Electric Tugs

[WDD]

What about something like this? You tow it with your car/truck. Chances are you drove to the airport in the first place, and if you have your own hanger you'll leave your car/truck in the hanger anyway while out flying ??

Easier to push it in with the cart than to back it in with the truck since the turning rotation is right under the hitch as opposed to 10-15' away from it. Triple swivel points gets.......fun.

OK so how do you like the new tug?

Very happy with the Tug

And the customer service at ACAirTech

Highly recommended! More than I need but also has a great cool factor.

Best tugs are great, but man, the company sure is proud of them cost-wise. I decided to design and build my own electric tug using parts and components from the electric scooter market. I built a great little electric tug for my taildragger with a 1 kW motor and a 48V Lion battery pack for around $300 total. It works like a champ. Rather than recreate my whole description here, I'm providing a link to my detailed discussion on another aviation website: https://backcountrypilot.org/forum/best-towbar-for-a-taildragger-14011?p=347051&hilit=Taildragger tug#p346859
