1-pound, spring-loaded, reversable-ratcheting mechanism that greatly increases the “leverage” available to help move your plane. Must be used with either the ST-1 or BE-3 Towbar, purchased separately. Made in the USA using 4130 Chromoly material. Application: Beechcraft - Bonanza, Baron, Travel Air, T-34 |
Works Great! Redline tow bar required, so it winds up around $500, but it does move your plane from a standstill, up hill, etc, doesn’t require batteries and weighs far less than the 38 lbs of a Sidewinder. I use it for travel as I have a Powertow in my hangar, but it really does work. You can essentially pump/cycle the handle/tow bar to keep the plane moving.
Very happy with my Stiffy... moves my Baron in mysterious ways. No Viagra required.
I returned it it would not move my V35 an in. All it did was compress the tire
No clue how it would move that Barron when it would not budge my bonanza all it did was compress the tire !
