Reviewer: Anne Anderson from Auburn, GA United States  
The video on assembly is very good.  The written instructions are extremely unclear and confusing.

4 of 5 slow starter October 12, 2024
Reviewer: Gabriel Locatelli from North Bend, OR United States  
This little tug does a decent job when it finally starts moving my Skylane.  Once I get it to grip the concrete it moves the plane adequately out of the hangar.  Engaging the tug on the asphalt to return to hangar bay it does a great job. This tug sure is a lifesaver.  taking the plane out of hangar and returning without the tug was not a one person job.  Now it is!

4 of 5 This little tug does the job June 11, 2024
Reviewer: Doug Reilly from Ridgeway, ON Canada  
I found it impossible to move my C182 up a slight grade to get it back in the hangar. The Minimax tug made all the difference and now I have no problem "putting her to bed!" Turning corners is a bit tricky as you have to lift it to change directions but it is entirely workable.

5 of 5 Excellent tug. Does the job well! May 17, 2024
Reviewer: Carlos Marquez from Miami, FL United States  
Easy and fast to put together. Works great with my Cessna 182. I hace a somewhat steep incline in front of my hangar and the tug works very weel uphill. Way much powerfull than the older version.
