Thoughts and opinions please.

How does the Stinson climb with full fuel and pilot at 60kias?If the
climb rate is mediocre, don't expect it to be a good tow plane.
Our Pawnee will climb at 1200fpm at 60kias with no one on tow. Add a
2-33 or Grob 103 with 2 people and the climb rate drops to 600fpm. So
if the Stinson will only climb at 400-500fpm, you may only get 200fpm
on tow.
