Default Towing with a Pawnee 150

Hi, Anyone out there every tow with a 150 hp Pawnee? How was it as a
tug? We currently tow with a Cessna 175 that has been re-engined with an
O-360 and equipped with a STOL kit. It is an OK tug off a 5000' paved
strip but not great. I've been towed by a 180 hp Pawnee (Jeff Cloud) and
find that to be an excellent towplane.

We are buying a low time Pawnee currently equipped with a low time 150
hp engine. We hope it will tow at least as well as the C-175. If so, we
will keep it and eventually re-engine it to 180 hp.

Thanks,

Wally
