Hello. Forgive me if this has already been beaten to death. Is there any information, or has any studies been accomplished on the strength of the nose gear, as towing the aircraft goes? I have access to a lightweight towbar and retrofitted the connection point on the bar with 2 machined high strength bolts, which the bolts ends were machined down to nubs, that would rest in the cap screw ends of the axle. I have yet to use this, but due to the snow and adverse taxing conditions, it is something I need to consider. I have seen the Bogert tow pin extension, which I would purchase, if I knew the gear could handle the stress. Some of my towing is on a slight grade over grass, which would be my concern. I thought best I consult the brains of the community. Depending on the resonses, I may contact Vans on this. Thank you, DM
