How do you t

Very carefully Free Spirit, You get a gadget (hook) that fits through the centre of the hub of the prop and attached to a E tipe Rotax reduction box, the Flange and shaft to the reduction box is hollow inside which the hook fits through.

You need a banner towing conversion on the type of aircraft, special clearance and permission I am not sure, but I think so

Ronnie ek dink hierdie laaitie het nou finaal mooi gevra om daai een kabel wat aan sy trike se vlerk is, af te haal :evil: :evil:

Sover ek weet is Bacchus die amptelike Cheff op wintervogel
