Our club is looking for a tow hook for 182, in particular Schweizer (partnumber 0500228-2) which is the STC'd approved hook for the Cessna 182. Any pointers are welcome.

Thanks

When the US National Championships were held in Wichita, KS in 1961, Cessna aircraft (also in Wichita) provided a small fleet of towplanes. After that event, the Schweizer tow releases were a given Cessna part numbers and were added to the type design of the aircraft as an optional part. Therefore, it is part of the certification for the airplane; no additional paperwork is required.
