I need to occasionally move a RV7A to get to the aircraft behind. Now when I used to fly a Cessna 152 it was permissable to push down on the rear fuselage just forward of the fin (or to push down on the front of the horizontal stabiliser where it meets the fuselage). Once the nosewheel was off the ground it was easy to swing the tail sideways and the aircraft would pivot sideways about the main gear. Can someone please tell me if this is an acceptable way to move a RV7A? The owner does not seem familiar with this method. If not it is not an easy aircraft to move with a castoring nosewheel and no towbar. Thank you to anyone who kindly responds.
