Hi Craig.

I landed out at Sackville Farm in the 15s last year and was ear bashed for
about an hour by Tim on how good the Grob109T was for towing. Unfortunately
he was not able to give me a tow out as the undercarriage had been damaged
and it was in repair.

I think you need a very good surface to operate off and that the Grob (and
probably similar SLMGs) are too lightly built for anything more than
occasional tugging.

At BGC our tugs do c. 2000 cycles p.a. each. I doubt that a MG would stay
that pace.

Jim
