ballpark cost to install a towhook on a C182?

What does your friend's insurance company say?

I know someone who wanted to install a hook on his C-180 so his wife
could tow him.Â* His insurance company said, "No way".Â* I don't know what
company that was.

If you are willing to go with a Schweizer hook, it will cost you the price of the hook and cord to operate it (recommend routing a cable inside the tailcone to a handle, possibly in the panel). It is in the Illustrated Parts Catalog for the airplane, and the owner can make the installation. No A&P required. No Form 337. No Field Approval. No STC.

Commercial towing insurance is an issue, and one that the SSA needs to address imo. There are a ton of potential towplanes sitting unused because of this.

But to simply install the hook and be able to tow, buy a hook from k&l, attach it, find an experienced towpilot to give a days of instruction, and enjoy flying!
