What is wrong with pulling on the prop? The engine puts out 100's of horsepower. We, on the other hand, can only exert about 1/10 of 1 horsepower.

Why would this hurt the prop?

I pull on the prop and pull back by pushing down and back on the tail.

Hi guys,

I see aerocraftparts.com has a towbar (p/n 801-0004) suitable for a 360.  Does anyone have any other recommendations for a suitable towbar?  I need to push back into a tiedown spot, and would prefer to pull out before starting to avoid hitting other planes with prop blast.  It would be nice to avoid pulling from the prop hub.

Thanks,
Keith
