You can save $1000's by building your own aircraft tug. This tug works perfect. Receiver configuration and parts list are at end of video. Be sure to check out the video of the tug in operation. ruclips.net/video/jUrhDGsaPBM/видео.htmlsi=PnbkVQ8hHSctxHfk
Remote Control Aircraft Tug for less than $600. Some Welding required !
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.10 месяцев назад
I built this tug to move my J5 Cub and my Bellanca Cruisair. Seems to work very good. Was fun to build! The motors have been upgraded to 350 watt 24v. I've adjusted some parameters in the radio receiver to cut the power a bit and to ease the start and stop. Be sure to check out the tug details including specific receiver configuration settings. ruclips.net/video/JD_cFsObH3E/видео.html Parts lis...
Scott's Homebuilt Remote Control Aircraft Tug

My original tug has worked so well over the last 5 years or so, I wasn't sure I could make it better. Well, back to the engineering table and out came a new remote control tug. All it took was a little welding and cutting here and there as well as good use of my Amazon Prime account for parts!

I had to take advantage of the nice PNW weather and take the Mustang I built, up for a flight. Hope the new owner enjoys the plane!

Do you have more information on the latch mechanism?
Hi, it looks great👍. Nice project. I am interested of system (with the wiperscreen motors) also works /strong enough is too move an small caravan (+/- 2200 pound) I had no idea of the weight of your airplane 😅❓. Thanks for your answer. Paul ( The Netherlands).
How did you attach the sprocket to the wheel? Did you just weld some tubing to the wheel itself?
Neato.
Impressive !! In your parts lists, you show a 2 pack lazy Susan.. Can you elaborate, are you actually using two lazy Susans or.... ?
Just one lazy susan. I got two in case I messed one up.
Wow, just wow!! What a phenomenal job on the design and implementation! Do you think with the upgrades that you made this would handle a 2,500lb 172 on a slight incline over hangar door railing?
Thanks. Yes it will move a 172 no problem. I use it to move my 182. One of the videos I posted has it moving the 182, before I upgraded the motors.
Very impressive - thanks for the parts list! Are you still happy with it? Any updates you would suggest besides dropping the lazy susan? BTW, I think your design on holding the wheel in is brilliant, particularly the little latch!
Thanks, yes still happy and my back is still happy. The tug works wonderfully. The lazy susan is the only thing I would drop at this point.
Hi Scott, would you have any details and /or build list for the carriage? I got lazy suzans now I just need to undestand how to mount them onto the frame and how to connect them to the servo's. Thanks for your help.
nice
beautiful restoration!
Awesome! Great to see it back in the air!
that's a BEAUTY!!!
Absolutely fantastic Scott! Congratulations on your first flight- you worked hard to get there. Only one question by the way........how did you edit the landing part at OLY so we can't tell whether we are on the ground?😁
Thanks Dave! I was waiting for the wheels to touch all the way up until I taxied off the runway 😆😁😄. Smooth as butter but must be the plane!
Cheeky Bugger! Thought you might of left the gear up!😂
Scotts, are the two motors the same model ? or are the right and left different part numbers ?
I suppose the next logical question, do these motors go the same speed forward and reverse ?
Yes, same
Yes, motors are the same, just mounted opposite of each other
Congrats on your project !!! Well Done !! Happy that I stumbled onto your video. I had never seen one like yours before, but seriously, it's so very close to what I've been envisioning and wanting to make. Watching your video, I couldn't stop thinking "yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to make !!! " The one exception in my planning is that I was thinking of using 450 watt motors because I'm on a grass field but it sounds like 2 x 350 watt motors is more than enough? I'd love to hear your thoughts on that. In any case, now I'm even more interested in getting it done. 🙂
Thanks! The 350 Watt motors have plenty of power and move My Cub and Bellanca Cruisair around with ease. I'm also on a grass strip. I do need push a little with the Bellanca to get it rolling as it runs out of traction if the grass is wet but the Bellanca is 2000 lbs
@@N3661a Hey Scott, thanks for replying, now I'm even more encouraged. I'm got a Tri-pacer, should work great !! Just need to figure out how to quietly sneak that into the budget .. LOL.. Where abouts are you hangared ? I'm in Manitoba (Norm)
Great build mate! Would you possibly be able to let me know the part number for the on off switch you used? Thanks!
What is the black box converter for, and hav is it conected.?
I gather this was up-engined. But which engine? Great climbout!
O290D2
Nice!
I love all Bellancas and have time in the Viking. Love your panel but 'Fuel Quantity' is misspelled. Hate to see you turn the wrong knob...hahah 👍
Lol, good eye! I didn't even notice that before :)
Beautiful. Franklins run soooooo smooth and without drama. Did you overhaul yourself? (Edit - AV30 twin pack NICE. Are you running tailbeaconX with that and delete xpndr?)
Thanks, no I didn't do the overhaul but I did disassemble a portion of the engine to check things out and replace some parts I wasn't happy with. The overhaul was done about 20 years ago and the engine has been in storage since. There was a fair amount of drama getting it running but it finally succumbed to my wishes and ran. Yes on the tailBeaconX. Figured I may as well do the AV30s and tailBeaconX as long as I was spending money.
@@N3661a well played and been there done that. I went the uAvionix and Trig route with my Funk. Couldn’t be more pleased. Carry on!
Beautiful. Franklins run soooooo smooth and without drama. Did you overhaul yourself?
looking great, Scott!! 👍 Rob.
Excellent! Awesome work as always 😎👍
I Love your work!!!! Great Balance and mobility! Very Fast! Thanks!!!!
fantastic build!!!
I am in a club that owns four planes, and we are considering building four tugs. Our 172, Archer, and Cirrus have nosewheel fairings. Do you think that the fairings would get scratched on the turntable? You changed from 250-Watt motors to 350-Watt motors. How do you feel about the change? Do you have any drawings available?
You would need to make sure the width of the tug would work with wheel pants. I'm sure the design could be modified to work. The 350 watt motor are much better and what I should have started with.
Great idea, I have ordered the parts to make one for my Tripacer here Downunder.
Would love to get the details for the wheel cradle mechanism.
What type of bearing did you use for your lazy Susan?
Looking good!!
Very well done! I would like to see a video of how you set up the Cytron Motor Driver and receiver. I have ordered those but the wiring and setup look a bit daunting. I am building a tug using a mobility chair. Wired it works pretty good but needs to go wireless. Thanks for any help.
Here is a video with details and the receiver settings as displayed on my cell phone app. ruclips.net/video/JD_cFsObH3E/видео.html The driver controls the steering by changing direction the motors run. The driver does not need any changes out of the box if you are using a pcm radio receiver
Looking good!!
Brilliant !
I could really use some details for thos

I have 7ac and I am 77 years old. it isn't easy to get my plane out and into the hangar. Where can I get the plans and parts list?
ruclips.net/video/JD_cFsObH3E/видео.html
You should start a company and call it Pretty Good Tugs
What motors are you using, and what circuit board is that? I have been wanting to build a tug for a friend of mine to move his j-3.
The original motors are 12v 6amp and about 50 RPM. They have plenty of power but the tug is slow. I bumped the voltage to 24 volt which made a big difference bit it is still slow. I just upgraded to 350 watt 24volt motors but have not had a chance to install them yet. I think they will be much better. The controller is a PN00218-CYT14 Cytron Motor Driver 30Amp 7V-35V. I will post back here if the 350waatt motor are a big difference.
I posted another video on the details. ruclips.net/video/JD_cFsObH3E/видео.html
And a bonanza
No Bonanza here :) The red/white plane is a Bellanca Cruisair.
@@N3661a I’m talking about making it fit a bonanza so I could buy one
Congrats! Nice neat matching finish! Now get to work on that Bellanca!😎
Way to go Scott! Brilliant........ a few tweaks here and there and Bob's your uncle.
Awesome. Love seeing old bird come back to life.
My 1st solo, after 4.5 hours of dual age 16, 1965 , was in the 65 hp version. Soloing in front is much better than from rear in J -3
livin the dream in a high performance plane.
You should sell it to Jessica. 😂😂
Nice job!
Are you thinking of putting up for sale then? Interested if so.
Nicely done, airplane is beautifull.
What a beautiful looking airplane!
It looks great, congratulations! I've been doing a "flying restoration" on my 1940 J5A.
