Does anyone know who makes a tow bar for the RV-7A ?? I bought one about 5 years ago for a RV-6A but don't remember who the guy was? It was real simple and worked fine etc. Had a spring loaded pin that secured it into the socket heads of the screws that hold on the nose wheel pant.
Larry, RV-7A about ready to fly!!

Larry,
I did some searching and finally ordered a Bogert towbar from ACS (their #
13-01811 for $74.00). Short story was it didn't work properly so I called
Richard Bogert, the owner, and he sent me modified parts at no charge which
solved the problem after I re-drilled the pivot hole to fit my wheel pant.
I also clamped on a simple stop per his suggestion to hold the bar in closed
position so it won't pop off when steering the nosewheel. I think he may be
adding a stop/latch in the future. If he does, it will be one trick unit.
Lightweight, good quality, and collapsible for stowing in the baggage
compartment. I would give him a call. He is super nice. info(at)bogert-av.com
or 509-736-1513.
Regards,
Scott Diffenbaugh

Cleveland Tool Co. sells a tow bar made specifically for tri-gear RVs for about $50. You can order it online from their catalog. It also collapses for easy storage in the baggage compartment. I have two of them... one for the hangar and one kept in the plane.
They work perfectly!
