Which two bars? Are you buying a round of Christmas cheer?
I dont know, I figure the best tow bar is one hand in the gear door
opening, and one in to the elevator cutout under the canard then pull.
On the door seal, perhaps some shim under the seal; or a companion flat
strip on the door.

Hi,
I know it must be somewhere in the archives. Im not good at that. Dave
Scharenberg, hey, dont you have pics of your solution for a tow bar?
or
anybody else?
I cant find what I saved the last time that topic came around.
I have the XLRG, and I considering drilling ¼ holes in the fork, smack in
the middle fore/aft and up/down. That would be my female aperture, and I
would then make the tow bar with ¼ steel rod and some kind of articulation
to go into the holes drilled in the side of the folks. I fear with time
(push/pull/twist) that I would beat the crap out of my ¼ inch hole and maybe
elongate it or worse introduce stress cracks in the fork material..
Could I please ask what others have done on this?
New topic: Door seals, and sealing out the rain. Whats the magic there?
I see that it is easy to have the u-form of the door seal spread open on
you. Also its easy not to get a shoved all the way in the corner door
corners. When I pour a glass of water along the top edge of the door, I
now think the water is going up over the top of seal rather than leaking
thru it which was my first guess. I think I have a gap between the top of
my door outboard of the dee-tube and the sealed fuselage flange where the
seal is.
I am a willing listener!
Thanks,
Terrys
