Default Pawnee 235 vs Cessna Bird Dog vs Maule as towplanes

One downside about the Pawnee, as I found out from expensive personal experience. Years of aerial application of chemicals that attract moisture can play havoc with the integrity of the tubes in the fuselage/tail. Have your IA poke them with an ice pick before you buy.
