RV-10s in San Diego area?

[jahoosafat]

Hi - I'm trying to determine whether this electric tow (https://www.redlineaviation.com/cirrus/sidewinder-cirrus-aircraft/) will work with an RV-10 with wheel pants, and the Redline Aviation folks need to actually test it on an RV-10. Anyone interested in having someone from Redline do a quick test on their plane? They're in San Diego, so they'd come out to an airport in the vicinity. I can't say they'll give you a free tow device out of it, but who knows! Please PM me with your contact info if you've got an RV-10 in/around San Diego. Thanks!

There is no way it would work on my airplane, but we are supposed to fly to Montgomery tomorrow (Sunday) morning for a couple of hours and could make our -10 available to someone to look at.

Thanks but too short notice. Anyone based at Montgomery, Gillespie, or Brown? Why are you sure this tow wouldn't work on yours?

I have after-market wheel pants and the clearance is reduced. It might work but there is just not much tire showing in the front.
