Being towed too slow?

I tend to have the opposite problem - tug pilots may not tow much
wood, and often go rather fast. So whenever I can, I make a point of
talking to the tuggy beforehand and letting them know my ideal speed
range.


I've had the same problem in a 1-26. At 75 MPH IAS the bird gets a
little more sensitive in pitch than I like on tow, so prior to departure
I have asked for a 65 MPH IAS max. 60 MPH IAS is not that easy for a
Pawnee to do, but just letting them know that it makes a big difference
to a 1-26 does help.
