Nothing new here.

Back in the 1960's the late Dave Johnson had the glider tow contract at the
Air Force Academy using Super Cubs with his 180 HP STC. His maintenance
facilities were at another nearby airport. Whenever a Cub came up lame at
the AFA, Dave would remove the prop and attach a tow hook he had made long
ago for just such emergencies. Then he would use one of its stalemates to
air-tow the Cub back home where the mechanics waited for it.

Sometimes they had to wait a little longer when the pilot of the propless
Cub would climb away in Rocky Mountain thermals after releasing - on one
occasion for three hours of silent flight.

I like the propless.pdf file...reminds me of slope soaring the ol' 150
with the power at idle. I would get 3-400 fpm up
at best glide speed often...
