Ikarus Bison as tow plane

[[email protected]]

We had a demo today of an Ikarus. The rep told us that there is a
version that is used to tow gliders in Europe and will tow up to 1,433
lbs (650 Kg.) If anyone has experience with this aircraft towing
gliders, could you give me your thoughts...how well does it tow, climb
rate, heaviest glider it will actaully safely tow, maintenance issues
etc.

Thanks!
