Default CallAir A9 compared to a Pawnee

One of those towing videos was probably mine. I'm 6'5" and have towed in both, though 235hp fixed pitch varieties. Between those two, they tow pretty even, until someone carries water and wants more speed. Always felt that the callair gave up as lot more climb rate above Vy than the pawnee. Must be a lot more draggy airframe. I mean, it is really ugly..
