Good Function For Value
Wednesday, August 5, 2026
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Ocala, FL United States
Moves my aircraft well. Trigger on drill is too sensitive for apllication. Wheels tend to slip on painted hanmgar floor, but fine outside on bare concrete. Accessory lever to operate fork is stioff, too easy to go over center on opening.

Missing Correct Parts
Monday, February 10, 2025
Reviewer: Colleen Herrick from Columbus, IN United States
So I bought this for my husband for Christmas. Our hangar is on a slope and it was getting increasingly difficult for him to manually drag the plane up the slope and into the hangar. I specifically ordered one for an RV-12 aircraft but as he assembled it this week, it was obvious I didn't get the correct parts as it would not stay attached to the plane. Hopefully this can be corrected.

[MINIMAX RESPONSE] Colleen, I spoke with your husband and we found out he had an unusual configuration on his tow pins. We made a new set of hubs based off measurements provided and all is well! Thank you for your business and patience!

My Minimax
Friday, August 23, 2024
Reviewer: Curtis Colgan from Tucson, AZ United States
Got the tug , assembled it, attached to Scully (9A) it worked good. Then I learned how to fine tune the tug to the needs of our plane.
This tug is fantastic. I’ve got an uphill climb to enter the hanger, this tug handles it with ease. No longer am I fighting to put the plane away. I’m a very happy customer.
PS. The speedy mover is a smart move.

Great Tug
Friday, April 5, 2024
Reviewer: David Stevens from Peyton, CO United States
Received the tug within a week of placing my order. It was easy to assemble with the detailed directions provided. It was clear that it was already set up to work with my RV9A every thing fit perfectly. Had a little problem with the bushings on the tow pins on the RV9A which were the wrong size. I contacted Brandon at Minimax and he quickly sent me the correct bushings. Great customer service and a really great product.

RV8A Mover
Tuesday, February 20, 2024
Reviewer: John Bussey from Harrogate, North Yorkshire United Kingdom
Just got our Minimax Tug for the RV8A. After putting it together (easy job) it has made moving our aeroplane very simple and in particular up a slight slope into the hangar. Great piece of kit.

RV8A Tug
Tuesday, February 6, 2024
Reviewer: Matthew Ford from Clayton, GA United States
Axle stop / flanges were torqued and locktite with one wheel jammed against the side of the frame. Once axle was re-centered correctly everything worked great. It’s a simple, moderately priced tool but better quality control is needed prior to shipping.

RV-8A tug
Wednesday, January 31, 2024
Reviewer: Tim Fitzpatrick from Wauseon, OH United States
Solid piece of equipment. Moves my RV very easily. Assembly is not too difficult. Will definitely save engine starts as I will be able to tow my plane to and from the fuel pit. Would definitely recommend if you are tired of dragging your plane around by hand.

MiniMax Rv8A
Thursday, September 1, 2022
Reviewer: Dilger, Al from Bakersfield, CA United States
Does a good job, I would like to see the lugs on the fork be adjustable which would make it a little easier to set up, also I think the small wheels should be standard rather than an option
