Who is selling a nose wheel tow bar for the RV10?  I thought they were available on Alex De Dominicis site.

This works great.  BOGERT TOw BARS (BOGI-BARS).  With a slight modification it also works great as an excellent rudder gust lock and with a bungee it will lock the stick.   You can also get an attachment that  extends the tow bar and has a ring on it and you can tow plane with tractor.  Once on it doesn't slip.  A little tricky to put on and not scratch your fiberglass.  Reasonable price too and light for travel.  Carry it with you--many FBO can't move plane easily, and it's a bummer to push backwards without tow bar. cheers.  lbb

Kuddos to the BOGERT TOW BARS (BOGI-BARS). The bar is well made and very sturdy. Fairly heavy to carry in the plane all the time, but sturdy in its construction. Delivered cost $101.00 with shipping.

I will add to the chorus about the Bogi-Bar for the RV-10. I bought  

mine directly from Bogert. Collapses nicely to carry in the luggage  

compartment.

BTW, Greg, I bought the seat latch levers you used to market and I  

love them. They look great and work great. I also love your Weight  

and Balance program.



Best regards,

Thanks everyone for your input.  Now if I can figure a way to not damage the nose wheel pant with the tow bar.

I bought the same tow bar, but modified it by cutting off the female connections, and replaced it by welding male pins which insert directly inside the allen head bolt instead of capturing the bolt on the outside.   The advantage is a much smaller hole.... or if you made the hole the same size, you'd have a lot more forgiveness in making the connection.

I made stainless steel washers and plan to proseal them in place after painting. I pressed a radius flange to fit the hole and also pressed a concave in the thin washer to fit the contour of the wheel fairing. The washer is 1 1/2" O.D. Hopefully this will save a few scratches.
