A wireless remote controlled rotorcraft tug assembly and method of maneuvering a rotorcraft positions a rotorcraft, of the type having skids, through use of a remote controlled low-profile tug vehicle that maneuvers in a tight 360° motion to maneuver the rotorcraft to a desired location, and operates multiple arms to raise, lower, and support the rotorcraft. A forward support arm and at least one lever arm are selectively movable through hydraulic or electrical means to engage the undercarriage of the fuselage for raising, lowering, and supporting the rotorcraft. A lateral arm connects to the skids from free ends to raise and lower the rotorcraft by the skids. A motor advances the tug vehicle by powering a drive wheel. A guide wheel attaches to a steering mechanism and enables 360° turns and precise maneuverability. A radio receiver and transmitter work to remotely control the motor and the arm control subassembly.
