The Mü30 Schlacro from Akaflieg Munich is in use and serves as an excellent towplane. Schlacro comes from "Schlepp" (Tow) and "Acro". It will probably be around at WGC 2020 at Stendal. Currently it is working there during Idaflieg summer camp. Since it was built by the students, it unfortunately is a unique aircraft.

The fs35 is a very interesting concept indeed, combining a motorglider similar to a HK36 Super Dimona with a 155hp turbocharged aircraft diesel engine.

A great concept, indeed! The turbo-charged Diesel engine should make the Hot/High condition secondary. Here is the link to the engine manufacturer's site:

That is super!

Was there any difficulty with your CAA or was the GFA authorized to make
those mods?

The original LS1-mod Pawnee, VH-CUR is EXP. Don't think they've certified one yet.

What are your favorite aircraft types (and modifications) for glider towing in high density altitude and/or short runways?
Mark Keene once told me about towing with one of these at Uvalde making a 2000ft tow and return in under three minutes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIAI-Marchetti_SM.1019

28 variants on the US registry.
