There used to be one on a Pawnee at the now defunct "Soar Minden", that is until it departed the Pawnee like a frisbee in flight. (Seems it really IS important to retorque those prop bolts after a few hours operating in a dry climate.)
Likewise, while quiet, the big complaint was poor climb rate, especially at higher altitude. I wasn't towing back then, so have no first hand experience.
