Yep this is true about the cirrus being a bit 'fatter' so I used a dremel
to adapt the cirrus adapters by shaving it off. This works really well.
And is still strong enough to pull/push the plane.

TLAR.

OR....a tad is the difference between the cirrus wheel hub and the
associated adapter.
It has to be a little smaller so you can get it to go in without a hammer.
It was trial and error in my case.  I didn't save the recipe.  Sorry.

Colyn:

Good idea.  How big is a "tad?"

Is that larger or smaller than a "tweak?"

Or do you TLAR (That Looks About Right) the adapters?

You can put a round peg in a square hole, you know, if you apply enough
force.

with an axe."

buy a precision micrometer from your car parts store, measure your
lancair hub, take the old ez40 adapters to your local machine shop, and
ask him to turn you a pair that fit your measurement (less just a tad so
they will slide in).

Hi Folks,

I have a Powertow EZ40 in my hangar and I'd like to use it with the
IV-P.  I don't have the right attachments at the end of the tug to
connect to the nose wheel.  I imagine that many of you have tugs...
what solutions do you have?

Thanks,

-Dico
