REFLECTOR: Towing

[Laurence Coen]

Jerry,

I have a "T" hanger and put the plane in nose first.  I drive it in and shut down.  No pushing required.  Pushing it out is down hill.

  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?
