How do you move aircraft on ground at airports or in hangars?

My thorp doesn't take much to move it around. I push on the fuselage skin near the tail and gently steer by pushing on the bottom of the fin, near the fitting. Also the trusty tailwheel spring is long and makes a great handle. I don't think the weight is more than 30 lb.

Pick it up by the tail, and push or pull it around, in/out of hangar, etc.
