When its friction drum is held against the nosewheel, the Robotow allows one person to move singles and twins such as the Aztec, Baron and Cessna 421. Its motor has a reverse-direction switch, and a trigger on the pistol-grip handle controls speed. Weighing less than 30 pounds, it measures 48 x12 inches. An axle adapter, sold separately, is required. It’s available for a variety of aircraft without wheel pants, including the Cessna 150, 172 and 175; the Piper Cherokee, Comanche and Apache; the Beech Bonanza Baron, Travelair and Debonair; and the Bellanca, Navion and Riley, to name only a few. It will not work with the Seneca, Arrow, Aerostar and Lance, among others.
