Cessna 182 Tost 337? by [email protected]
I've had a Schweitzer tow hook jam on a Cessna 182. As we are about to put a tow hook on another Cessna 182, I would really prefer a Tost (like we have on the Pawnee and the Maule), for safety and so that we can share the same tow rope. :-) Does anyone know of a Tost 337 or STC for a Cessna...
