    B17 Nine-O-Nine crash in CT - 2019-10-02

    Homemade Deuce tow bar system.

    Rusty, Thanks for linking this thread and resurrecting it. I like the homemade tow bar, but have already acquired both a Medium Tow Bar and a HEAVY Tow Bar too. I doubt I'll ever have a real need for the HEAVY one, but I seem to never be able to get rid of ANY "tools".
