Back in the early 2000's Parowan had a 600 HP BiPlane Ag wagon. Yup, those things were amazing. IIRC there were 2 radial-powered Eagles there when I first visited Parawon in ~97. Towed behind it in the whale! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Aircraft_Eagle

Cheaper tows?
Bob Carlton once towed his Salto (before he put the jet engine on it) behind Dr. Ray Vetsch's "Turbo Shark," running a Walter M601T 780 HP turbine. Climb to 6,500 AGL release altitude was about 65 seconds and they were running at the Salto's redline speed (155 knots). After twanging the release, Bob gained another 800 feet.
