Could any one recommend a powered tow bar good enough for my Yak 18T?
I bought one from WingWalker in SA which just does not work (I should
have known better, when the guy refused to provide me
with details of satisfied customers).
Thanks in advance
Chris

I just bought a PowerTow a couple of weeks ago as a matter of fact. It works fine for my YAK-52. Has a 6 hp engine that moves the plane along just fine. The hand controlled clutch will stop it on a dime. The rest of my hanger mates will attest to it's ease of use also. Dennis Savarese for one.

Guys,
Now that’s what I call a powered tow bar! It would look good cruizing on the main street in my little village over here in France!
Best regards
Chris

Hi Chris - how are you doing, your 18T still based out of Deauville?
Re: WingWalker - you have my sympathy, but not surprised a reference was elusive.
Had the same problem with WingWalker back in 2001 when I'd sought their assurance that an AV20 model was adequate to handle a YAK-52 ... their web site still says so today.
To cut a long story short it was certainly not "fit for purpose" - the only (limited period) recompense offered required my paying the shipping costs back to SA (which would not be recoverable, nor the original shipping to UK).
As I'd paid by credit card I'd hoped to have some consumer protection cover ... but legislation good only within the EU, discretionary elsewhere ... you can guess the outcome.
I'd like to say more but will bite my tongue ... let's just say Caveat Emptor!
Eventually sold it on (at a loss) via eBay to a guy with a (much) lighter aircraft ... hopefully it was better suited to his needs.
As per other responses I'd recommend going the PowerTow route ... although granted it's not cheap to buy / ship to Europe.
I was fortunate to find a 5 year old used PowerTow (4hp) on sale here in the UK ... best thing we ever bought. Fires up first time, every time even after a further 4 years of use & abuse (700+ starts). Easy to get the (Tecumseh) engine consumables (filters etc), even in the UK. I can thoroughly recommend this product.
Cheers, Rob
