Default Cessna 188 Agwagon as towplane

One of our local FBOs used to have one as well as 2 Pawnees. The
Cessna only flew on rare occaisions. The FBO felt that it was "much
less economical" than the Pawnees. Unfortunately, I never really got
any details from him. My perception (from the back end of the rope)
was that it didn't climb quite as well as the Pawnees, but there are
way to many variables there to make a definitive statement.

End result is that they took it off the line pretty quickly.
