Works Great! Tuesday, May 6, 2025 Reviewer: Robert Lewis from Northeast, MD United States   Easy airplane to push but after I hurt my shoulder it was difficult to push the a/c back into the hangar. Every time I would push it I would have a set back to the shoulder. The Minimax tug makes small work of it and now I can fly without concern. Assembly and operation are simple. Thank you so much!

Works great but a little heavy Saturday, April 26, 2025 Reviewer: James LaMonica from Independence, OR United States   Purchased for a Lancair 360. The drill driven tug works great and easily pushes my 1100 pound airplane up a slightly sloping ramp. Build quality is good with an ingenious design.  Only one small complaint is that the tug is heavy making it hard to attach to the nose wheel without getting on my knees and crawling under the cowl. Would be a much better product if it weighed less. Was this review helpful to you?

Great tug--wish it were lighter Saturday, February 22, 2025 Reviewer: James Gates from Redondo Beach, CA United States   It works great, but I have an airplane low to the ground and attaching it to my nose gear is a bit difficult due to the weight. Was this review helpful to you?

Excellent Tug for a Lancair Tuesday, February 7, 2023 Reviewer: William Rumburg from Gold Hill, NC   The connection mechanism is simple and perfect for the Lancair 320, requiring no modification whatsoever. Just pull the locking pin (knob) up and swing the attachment arm open to connect it to the tow plate. Assemble the tug by pushing the drive shaft up the torque tube just far enough to permit engagement by the drill. Secure it to the drill and then push the drill/drive shaft back into torque tube and tighten the upper clamp to secure the drill. Then push the drive shaft to engage the lower drive. Only takes about ten minutes, once the process is understood. Was this review helpful to you?

Great product and ingenious design Sunday, August 5, 2018 Reviewer: G McAnally from Texas   We spoke while you were in Oshkosh about the pins needed to attach your tug to a Lancair 4. Wanted to send you a picture to show you that it attached just as you said it would and works great! This aircraft is pretty heavy at 3000lbs and to pull around by hand can be daunting but your tug handles it with no problem. The most impressive part about it is how easy and precise it turns. Great product and ingenious design. One other thing that I think is important to mention. I have another tug at  another location that cost almost twice what I paid for yours and it is so heavy I cannot pick it up and move it by myself. Transporting that other tug to another airport has always been a major concern for that reason. That’s not the case with this tug at all. Thanks for all your help. Was this review helpful to you?
