I would like like comment on whether it is a good idea to use a Continental
powered C182 as a tow ship that would be mainly used to tow the Schweizer 2-33 at sea level airports. I content that the tow speed would not be comfortable for a 2-33 and that overheating of the continental engine would be a problem in the summer. I'd like to convince those who might make the decision to only use our Cessna 172, 180hp Lycoming conversion. I have no experience with a 182 as a tug. Jim |

I've used a 182 and 206, though I only did in during fall, winter and spring as
the summer would have fried the engine for me. And this was at 3700'. |

They work just fine.
I fly in Illinois and it can tow the heavyist ships we have almost as good as our 2 pawnees can. Its an old one to. The kind with no back window. |
