I believe they use a 182 at Estrella Sailport just South Of Phoenix. The
day I was there, they were using a Pawnee as tow plane as they were working
on the 182.

I believe their website is http://www.azsoaring.com

I would like like comment on whether it is a good idea to use a

Continental
powered C182 as a tow ship that would be mainly used to tow the Schweizer
2-33 at sea level airports. I content that the tow speed would not be
comfortable for a 2-33 and that overheating of the continental engine

would
be a problem in the summer. I'd like to convince those who might make the
decision to only use our Cessna 172, 180hp Lycoming conversion. I have no
experience with a 182 as a tug.
Jim
