I think there is a club at Sterling Massachusetts that has a Bird Dog.

Bird Dog has two seats, Pawnee, 1.
For a personal plane that is a good thing, for training new tow pilots that
is a good thing.
For Club Ownership.. they cost about twice the price of a good Pawnee and
the insurance cost reflects.

I know a NV Club that had a BirdDog and sold it for both reasons.

A good friend is considering buying a BirdDog for personal use and
have the ability to tow. Anyone know just how strong a bird dog is as
a towplane?

Is it just as good as a pawnee?


What was the rate of climb you had on tow and what type of ship were
you in?

Thanks!
