Default Tow plane types/mods for high density altitude glider towing

The Mü30 Schlacro from Akaflieg Munich is in use and serves as an excellent towplane. Schlacro comes from "Schlepp" (Tow) and "Acro". It will probably be around at WGC 2020 at Stendal. Currently it is working there during Idaflieg summer camp. Since it was built by the students, it unfortunately is a unique aircraft.

The fs35 is a very interesting concept indeed, combining a motorglider similar to a HK36 Super Dimona with a 155hp turbocharged aircraft diesel engine..
