I have flown tow with Pawnees, Old 182s and new 182s, pulling 2-33s, 1-26s,
and Blaniks. New 182s have a wing optimized for higher speed, and don't
climb as well at 2-33 tow speeds.


So presumably, for those of us in the rest of the world who train in
glass, the 182 would be just fine?

What speed do they like to climb at? I can't imagine a problem with
grobs if it's maybe 75 or 80 knots. We normally tow at 65 knots
(indicated in the glider) behind our Pawnees.
