In the last two weeks I've been to two FBO's that said they were unable to tow my DA62 due to not having the necessary adapters for the nose gear.
Has anyone else had this problem? Was this just a bad coincidence?

Re: Towing DA62
Interestingly, the DA62 adaptors are different. I purchased an additional set from TowFLEXX and carry them with me just in case.

Re: Towing DA62
Presumably one side of the adapter is the 62 nose wheel. What is the standard on the other side?

Re: Towing DA62
Russ,
Call Brackett Aircraft at 928-757-4005. You need the T700 Adapters for the DA62. If you have Beringer Wheels and Brakes you will need the adapters to be bored out in the middle to work correctly, just let them know that. The Beringer nose wheel has a bolt thru the center that sticks out further than the previous nose wheel which causes the non-bored out adapters to not fit properly.
