My quest for a tow bar that works with my RV-10 continues. If anyone ca n  point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. The only thing  mentioned in the archives is one from Coss Aviation from South Africa and a  couple general references to Bracket Aircraft and Aircraft Spruce. Does anyo ne  have a specific part number of one that works?

  

 The Universal Tow bar from Aircraft Spruce (part #13-02250) does NOT wo rk.  I'm sending it back and going to try again...

Bogert has one specifically made  for the RV-10 that seems to work fine.  For some reason Spruce  doesn’t list it though

model #4-RV10;  $84

 If it were me (and I plan on being there!), I'd look at the ACS tow bar, and since you know WHY it won't work ..... modify it!  C'mon now, you've built a whole airplane!  How hard can it be to change a tow bar????

Here's some new Towbar comments:



(Old)  The RVA towbar from Aircraft Spruce does indeed work fine

on the RV-10.   I have one.  When you first buy it, you can use

it on the 10 nosewheel on the axle area.  After you add wheel fairings,

you'll cut 3/4" off the towbar pinchers and use it on some other

capscrews.  But, it works just fine.  I see they now offer an RV-10

version, but I'm sure there's not a lot different...it's probably

just pre-cut.  You should ask them.



(New)  In search of a nice rudder gust lock, I created one that

works really well.  I spoke with Bogerts about it to see if

they'd be interested in making it a product of theirs that

would save builders having to build one.  The RV-10 does

definitely need a rudder gust lock.     This progressed into

a bit larger project, where we are trying to come up with

a Towbar/Gust-Lock that will do everything you would ever

want...it would be a towbar, and with a couple of attachments

it would also serve as a rudder, AND aileron/elevator gust lock.

I don't have a timeline for when you could see a finished product.

I do have some photos of my rudder gust-lock only that I made.

It works really great, but means I have to have 2 things

hauled in the tail on long trips.



More to come...
