It's taken Aircraft Spruce a year to fill this order. I'll take a look to see if there are any changes from the previous supplier.

well, I received my new 2025 Wag-Aero RV A model tow bar. Made in the USA! Even though it is not listed for the RV10 / RV14, the openning is the same as the previous so it should work, but you need a Posilok to clamp it in place in order to prevent it from popping open when pushing. the wag-aero style tow bar is my go-to and is especially good as a travel bar.


The design has changed again.

2025 as shipped installed. I modified it later.

2025 installed with mods.

2019 - 2024 as shipped installed, except for the cut down spring pins.

**********************

Since I need the tow bar to be as non-intrusive as possible, for loading bikes, I cut down the spring pins to about half size. Yes, I load bikes with the tow bar installed. You need a long drill bit in order to drill these. The new 2025 model required new holes for the Posilok to fit well and I also cut down the length of the extension bar because I didn't like it hanging down. Also, because the tow bar is tight to the bulkhead, I like to change to hex head bolt to a low-profile screw head.
