REFLECTOR: Towing

[Scott Baker]

Tow?  I thought sop is to drive a Velo into the hangar. :-)

  My ramp is too steep to manually push the Velocity back into the hangar.  I need to tow it in some fashion.  With my FG version, I intend to tow it backwards, pulling on the two main gear legs.  I have done this once and it doesn't seem to create problems.  If I do not buy a suitable tow vehicle, I intend to buy an electric winch bolted to the floor.  Is there a problem towing the plane backward?
