Does anyone in the US have any experience installing a Tost tow reel in a PA-18 Supercub? Our club Pawnees both have Tost reels installed and we think they are great, and would like to install the same tow reel in the Supercub we are rebuilding.

Looking for any 337/field approval examples we could use to avoid reinventing the wheel.

Harris Hill has done this.

It’s a really simple 337 that your local IA can do. No field approval needed. I have a PA-18 project I am doing for myself. When I sold my PA-12 I kept the TOST hitch which I intend to put on the 18. AC 43.13-2B chapter 8 covers it pretty well. https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC%2043.13-2B.pdf

Oops I just saw you’re doing a reel. Nope no experience putting one in.

Kirk- Try contacting Tim Welles at HHSC. Contact info on the SSA website. He should know who at HHSC would have the info on their installation.
Good luck
