ETL Aviation’s New Helicopter Tug
At the time of this writing, we have not given the tug a name, but are considering many options. If you have a suggestion, let us know at info@etlavation.com. Some information about the tug is below.
Make: Tug
Model: MA70
Engine: Ford 6 cylinder
Fuel: Propane
The new may be overkill for moving our helicopter around, but it much better than the lawn tractor that we used before.
