A few years ago I installed a Schweizer hook on my 1953 cessna 180.
The current owner is Ken Sorenson and he may be able to get you a copy of the 337 I filed. At the risk of starting a debate, I would suggest sticking to the Tost hook idea if you are going to do a lot of towing of pilots of varying skills and currency. It is possible to put too much pressure on a Schweizer hook if the glider is out of position such that the tow pilot cannot release the glider. A number of tow pilots have perished this way over the years. The tost release will work with the glider in any position. I used a Schweizer hook because it was significantly cheaper and I only towed highly experienced pilots and then only ocassionaly. |
