Does the Robotow fit?

With a pant on the nose wheel, the Robotow does not fit.

No, it does not fit.

Does not fit with the pant on. The Robotow drives the nose tire with a knurled drum, so the drum has to touch the tire, and a pant or fairing on the nose wheel is in the way. If the nose pant comes off, it may fit. Find your airplane on the fit list: it asks about the pant for each model.

Why

The Robotow drives the nose tire with a knurled drum. The drum has to press on the tire itself, and a pant or fairing around the nose wheel sits in the way. That makes the answer the same on every airplane flying with its nose pant on: it does not fit.

If the nose pant comes off, it may fit. From there the answer depends on your nose gear and which adapter it takes.

What to photograph

With the nose pant off, the nose gear straight on from the front.

What to do instead

Start by deciding whether the nose pant stays on. If you fly a Cessna 150, 172, fixed-gear 182 or 206, the Cessna 1 adapter page shows how it fits with the nose pant off. Cherokee owners, see the Piper 2 adapter page.

Warrior, Archer and Dakota owners, start with that answer. Cardinal owners, read the 177 answer. The Cirrus SR series is a separate case: there is no adapter for it, pant or no pant.
