When pushing your airplane into a shared hangar, there is always the worry about going off track and running a wingtip into another aircraft or a wall. Dave Venable of Peachtree City, Georgia, pondered that problem long enough to develop a practical and good-looking solution, which he names OnTraxx.
The OnTraxx system consists of two anodized channels that guide the main gear tires to gently chocked end ramps, securing the aircraft into the exact position it is supposed to inhabit.
The channels, which come in 1-, 2-, and 3-foot sections, are fastened to the floor with either bolts or strong double-sided tape (provided in the kit). The channels are all constructed of 6061 aluminum and built to last. There is no need for a third channel for either a nosegear or a tailwheel. Once the main gear tires are guided into the channels, the third gear will follow. Optional leading edge ramps can be personalized with your N-number.
While each installation may be different, the company states that a typical installation for an RV-10 would run a little over $1,300. For more information, go to ontraxx.com.
