We want to install a tow hitch on a recently acquired Husky in
preparation for the contest season.


*Is a Tost hitch required or preferred for SSA sanctioned events?
Not required.
*Is the venerable Schweitzer hitch still OK ? Yes
*If so, for how long? No end of life specified at this time?
*Tost is the standard in Europe. *Is the US moving toward that
standard? Yes, but voluntarily due to the benifits of the tost hitch.
*Has anyone used the Husky/Super Cub Tost hitch kit offered on Wings
and Wheels? I don't know anyone on RAS that has one, I believe the
Seattle Glider Council has Tost hitch's on their Super cub and
Pawnee's.
