I have had a tow behind the Kingaroy Cessna 152 (I think) with an autoengine
and it was spectacular good. Not sure if this is aavilable in the US.


That airplane is a C150 E of 1964 vintage (omnivision, straight
tail)with a Lycoming O-360 and a C172 nose leg. I've watched while it
towed a 15 m glider alongside a Pawnee 235 towing same and it beats
the Pawnee.

OTOH I know of one club who still have the heavy fiberglass hoppers in
their dedicated Pawnee towplanes. Ther is a word for these people.
