Good, reasonably priced but takes getting used to

I purchased the tug for my Cardinal RG. The experience was great. The owner was very responsive in answering his phone and answering my questions and it arrived when promised. Assembly was pretty easy. It took some tweaks to get it to work. It takes a bit of muscle to hook up to the nosewheel, and I had to play with the tightness of the bolts holding the arms to hit the spot where I can move the arms to engage the wheel, but they were tight enough not to fall back out. Using it had a learning curve. If you started at high power, you just spun the wheels. If I started at low power and then sped the drill up as the plane started to roll, it worked well. I have a lip between the driveway and my hangar floor, and I have to be sure to get a "running start" to make it over the lip. Applying friction tape to the epoxy enamel paint on the floor in front of the nosewheel prevented wheelspin. On the whole it was a good value for the money and works well once you understand how to use it.

Solid first impressions

The ordering process went well. The mounting hardware bag was missing from the shipment and with one quick call was quickly shipped separately. Assembly took 30 minutes. My impression from the marketing materials was that power for the slight incline into the hangar would be marginal but there is more than ample power to jockey and return the plane to the hangar with ease. I did not initially order the easy mover and ordered it subsequently. I recommend it as nearly essential, not so much for moving the tow but certainly for easier attachment of the tow to the plane. My first impression on the pieces and parts is they are heavy duty and durable and all components are high quality. I am pleased with the choice and the purchasing process. There is a learning curve to attachment and steering but I expect that to be mastered fairly quickly.
