Does the Power Tow 40 work with the Scott tailwheel on my M-5?

They have an adapter for the MX-7 with a Scott tail wheel under "Additional Aircraft". If it works on a MX-7 then it should work on your M-5 with a Scott tail wheel. I know someone who had one for a M-6. The issue is the adapter since it has to put the engine and wheel far enough back and low enough to miss the elevators. I have a Best Tugs A3 and it works well on my MX-7-180.

Yep. I have a Powertow 40EZ that I use to move my M5-235C w/ Scott tailwheel. What you need is the KIT-0704 for the Scott tailwheel.

They also make the "Thunderbolt" which uses a battery to drive an electric motor. Frame and connectors look about the same.

They work well.
