Default Tow Plane Mirrors.

Our Pawnee has automotive rearview mirrors attached to the wing struts
and motorcycle mirrors attached to the cross member above the instrument
panel. Of course the Pawnee has a back window; does your 182? The
mirrors on the struts are pretty much useless since they have a small
field of view, are mounted far away from the pilot, and are ground
adjustable only. Our Ag Wagon has a remote controlled (via mechanical
cable) automotive mirror mounted to the side of the fuselage just
forward of the door. It's quite useful. Maybe you can get field
approval for a mirror mounted just forward of the door with the control
mounted to the panel. You might need one on each side of a 182.

Hi all,

We have two Cessna 182's towplanes and need a mirror solution.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Noel
