Too often the quick release pin
either isn’t in place before towing or
gets missed when preparing your bird
for the tow bar. If that happens, you’ll
shear the tail wheel lock actuator. Then
your bird is NMC.
To avoid tearing your tail wheel
apart, always press the lock handle
down Frst and fully insert the quick
release pin. Just be careful! The lock
handle can pop back up before inserting
the pin. Then hook up the tow bar and
you’re ready to tow your bird.
And don’t forget the ground guides.
They keep you from running into
something.
