Frank,

A friend's ASW-19 does NOT have a nose hook, only the
CG hook. I don't know if it is a 'B' model, but I
think it is. I do know his first couple of takeoffs
in the 19 was his first time to experience a tow with
a CG hook. The takeoffs were a bit exciting.

(Is there a way to easily distinguish a 'B' model
from the previous version, other than looking at the
assorted paperwork?)

The factory apparently made it optional. Some in the
US don't have the CG
hook. Now I'm wondering if any in the US lack the
nose hook. IIRC, the
nose hook can be retro-fitted? Didn't the LBA require
this at some point?

Frank,

So far as I recall, the nose hook came as a later
mod
on the ASW 19. I would be surprised if any left the
factory without a C of G hook.

to add a CG hook?
