I have one and I'm seriously thinking about putting a hitch on it to (among other things) tow glider trailers with. Anyone out there doing it? What hitch do you have? Which engine? I have the 1.9 TDI, which I think has plenty of power for it...

Does anyone know if there is still glider towing service in Salida, CO. It has been a couple years since I have flown out there and would to fly there again. Randy

I am looking for some reliable data on the Rotax Falkes towing performance, but I have until now not found any consistent values. I would therefore very much appreciate if you would send me some information, if you have any experience in this area.

I am wondering if anyone has experience both physical and legal in rigging Schweizer gliders to be towed with tost rings I have thought about modifiying the moving part of the tow hitch (making it narrower). I have also thought about installing tost hitches on the glider. We waste a lot of time...

You may remember be talking about research carried out by Bath University and the Caravan Club of the UK -- well, after 20 years of research(!), something has finally been published on the web. http://towingstabilitystudies.co.uk/index.htm There's not a whole lot there, but that reflects the fact...

Does anyone know of a tow hook installation STC for a Rallye 150 ST ? Thank in advance for your input. Gabe #397

I have a 2016 honda civic. It’s my only car. Has any one towed their glider and trailer using a small sedan like a civic?

Automatic or Manual. Which is the best?

Towing w LSA (FAA defined Light Sport Aircraft)? Is anyone doing this? Without a horsepower limit for Light Sport Aircraft it seems that a small airframe and a big engine might be an ideal towplane. The GW limit of 1320 lbs (599kg) and max cruise speed of 120knots do not seem restrictive for...

Hi All. Does anyone have any towing experience using a E-320 4matic? Good or bad results? If so where did you get your hitch from? Thanks, Gregg

In 2008 this model got a new softer suspension. I drove it and I thought it had more body roll than I would like to have. Comfort was great but handling I am not sure, especially for towing. So my question is does anyone has any experience with model year 2008? I also test drove the BMW X3 and I...

I would like to hear from anyone who has experience or expertise on the subject of towing with a Piper Pawnee with a 150 hp engine. 150 hp seems on the light side to me. It would be used in Central Texas (high density altitude in the summer).

Our club has a Husky on leaseback as one of our tow planes. In order to keep the temps within desired limits on the Husky (I think they shoot for 425 cht max) we have to tow at higher speeds than would be typical for say, a Pawnee. This isn't necessarily a problem for glass ships but it is for...

Does anyone have experience towing a glider trailer with a Segway human transporter? Which of the light gliders, the Sparrowhawk, Russia or PW5, tows best with a Segway?

Looking at getting a new vehicle this spring, and am currently looking into a Jetta Sportwagon TDI. Any of you guys use one to tow your ship? Good or bad? Peter

Hello, What are peoples opinions regarding towing a Russia AC4C with an aluminum skinned trailer with a VW diesel beetle? The diesel engine has plenty of torque. I have have towed my boat which is 1200 lbs with the trailer and I have not had any problems. I would be towing quite far on the...

Is anyone towing with an agwagon/agtruck. looking for info on fuel burn, climb rate and towing speeds. thanks

This completely ignores the desires/requirements for efficiency, cost and cycle time, but has anyone out there ever towed a glider with a helicopter?

A friend of mine (seriously) is about to retire and wants to begin touring the US with an RV while towing a glider trailer. Been done many times. No issues to speak of with this concept. But he also does NOT want to use the RV to tow the assembled glider around the airport during events. He...

We just read into the regs a bit deeper. I was always under the impression you had to have 100 hours in category and class and if it was a tail wheel you had to have 1000 hours in that. I actually read the reg and it looks as though it's only 100 hours of category and class. So I know if the...
