Default Mirror installation required?

Our Pawnees have 2 large (5 x 7 in?) truck mirrors mounted inside on either side of the cockpit (above the instruments on the curved "crash pad"). Mounted using RAM ball mounts - no vibration and you can see everything the glider is doing back there. Field of view is through the aft quarter panels and door windows.

We also have a small car mirror mounted externally as part of the Tost internal tow reel system that shows the tow rope so you can watch it retract.

No mirrors, no tow, IMO...
