Default CallAir A9 compared to a Pawnee

To those that have flown a CallAir A9 how does it compare to a Pawnee in flying? Same engine so I am guessing the tug performance is about the same.


I only have half a dozen tows in the CallAir but I think you are right, the performance is about the same as a Pawnee. I towed during a contest that had 1 Scout, 3 CallAirs and 3 Pawnees. One day the crosswind started to pickup. The Scout pulled out first then the 3 Callairs pulled out. All 3 of us Pawnee pilots were happy to keep going.
