I know this has come up before in RAS. But thought I would bring up
the subject again. For a club looking at long term projections, which at some point will include either sticking a "new" engine on a Pawnee or getting rid of it, does it make sense to start evaluating getting a 2 place motorglider to serve as a tug and also as a touring/training tool? Can a MG tug pull a loaded 2 place Blanik on a standard day at SL, from a 1800' grass strip? Or perhaps such a tug could be used to tow the members single place ships, and the heavier/ 2-place ships stow behind the clubs remaining pawnee? We are blessed with 3 towplanes in our club, there are upcoming factors that will/are causing us to look at several different scenarios and am wondering if tossing a MG into the mix might be one such solution.
