Do not see any very recent posts on the Extreme.

Very interested just how well it does towing something 15 M?

Thanks for any experiences.

From a test we did 4 years ago towing Blanik, K13 and G103, it tows

every bit as well as a Citabria 150 from our 270 ASL 3000ft grass
strip. The ground accelleration however is slower on soft ground. On a
paved strip it would beat a Citab any day with faster turnarounds due
to full spoilers descents at no risk to shock cooling the water cooled
engine.
