  Lou,

   

  The problem with towing is that Velocities are very light in the nose.  Not quite as bad as a LongEZ or VariEze, but definitely a significant risk of tipping the plane up onto the prop.  If you can ballast the front of the plane it would reduce the risk.

  I have looked through the Velocity Manuel but can't seem to find anything about towing. I have a STD FG and am wondering if a tow bar can be used on the castoring wheel? Our airport is having the ramp repaved for the next two weeks. The only access from the t-hangers is through the grass. I am not too excited about taxing my bird through the grass but was not clear about the possibility of towing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   

  Also, I posed a question a while back but it got lost in another subject. Is there an allowable slop in the nose gear strut? Mine has slight movement. What is the repair for this?
