Must Have Aviation Device
Thursday, June 19, 2025
Reviewer: Tad Derouin from Henniker, NH United States
My Luscombe was getting heavier and tasking to move in and out of my hanger with my original tail dragger unit. This Mini Max makes plane feel as it did 42 years ago , my flying will be increased this year knowing my Minimax makes effortless aircraft movements. Safety is enhanced with zero risk of muscle strain while using my Minimax. Thank you for this wonderful and affordable aircraft tug.

Tail wheel tug
Saturday, June 1, 2024
Reviewer: Chad Perkins from Ida, MI United States
It will definitely move the airplane, front boards and backwards in a straight line, I think my Airplane, which is a MX seven is probably a little too heavy because with the straight handle is very awkward to hold the tail up in the air. The drill keeps coming loose from the driveshaft inside the unit constantly, and I have to make a turn in my hanger in this machine will not do that because it has both wheels that drive, I will probably get a different gearbox and with a single output I think that’ll allow it to turn. I am probably also going to change the handle and put a universal joint in it so I can have a little bit of a bend so it’s not so awkward .

Awesome
Wednesday, January 24, 2024
Reviewer: 907herb from Eagle River, AK United States
I was having trouble getting my cub back in the hanger after it started snowing. Bought the tug and now it is not a problem. I have the longer handle and regular tires. Just wonderful.

Tugger that works
Tuesday, September 7, 2021
Reviewer: Larry Rhoads from Raymore, MO United States
The unit works as advertised. The speed setting on the drill covers a full range of motion from a slow walk to a full run. My Sopwith weighs about 1000 lbs and the unit moves it smoothly. Everything arrived in good order and went together well. The hardest part of the assembly was getting the driveshaft installed. It took a couple of tries to get the alinement correct. Works great.

Citabria tug
Wednesday, August 5, 2020
Reviewer: Bill Mc from Novato, CA United States
The unit works very well on my Citabria 7gcaa. Because of the T/W wt (85lbs) I recommend the longer handle. The De Walt drill motor has plenty of power & battery life.

Tail dragger
Thursday, August 29, 2019
Reviewer: Ken Lifland from McKinney, TX
When I first got the tug it would not move my Cessna 120 and was hard to use. Brandon when out of his way to help me resolve the issue (I needed to add the weight option) to my tug....like magic it works

Basic tail dragger tug
Thursday, April 11, 2019
Reviewer: S. Gray from WA
Because of a lot of reasons we don’t need to get into today was the first day the tug really got some use. It’s right on. Works perfectly. And easy to use. I did use it on the slowest setting because I’m new to it. I was concerned about turning but that proved to not be an issue. It works like a tow bar but I don’t have to put in any effort to the get the job done. Great product. But one comment: I ordered a second battery and don’t think that is needed. One battery seems to be all anyone would need for normal ops. It’s hard to believe that something this simple does such a great job.

Brushless DeWalt drill motor
Tuesday, June 27, 2017
Reviewer: Steve from Washington
I just updated by tail wheel tug with the new brushless Dewalt and it made a huge difference, significantly improved power over the previous Dewalt
