Default Pawnee Tow Release

Install a Tost reel system and you can use a simpler “release” setup due to the use of a guillotine. Very little force needed to cut the tow rope so the release lever can be smaller and mounted right in front of the throttle. Both our Pawnees have been equipped for several years and I would not like to go back to the Elmira Death Hook!

Plus you get a built in Tost release for when you just have to drag a 200 ft rope behind you...
