Mooney Ground Handling Guide

MOONEY GROUND HANDLING

Moving a Mooney without fighting the hangar

Mooneys are efficient in the air and stubborn on the ground. A small incline, a door rail, or a concrete lip can turn a normal hangar move into the part of flying you start avoiding.

Mooney Mover powered tow bar moving a Mooney aircraft

The Mooney Mover was built from that exact problem: a 1963 M20C, a hangar with an incline, and one person trying to move the airplane without making a production out of it.

What Mooney owners usually care about

  • Keeping cost reasonable
  • Not adding another bulky hangar problem
  • Having a setup that is simple enough to maintain
  • Getting controlled movement without overbuilding the solution
  • Storing the tool without giving up half the hangar

If that sounds familiar, the Mooney Mover is the place to start.
