My club uses a C-150 with a 180 hp conversion. *It tows very well at
1500 ft field elevation all summer long when temperatures reach 100 or
more. *It has a climb prop. *It has towed my single-seater with full
ballast at 1150 lbs. as well as the G103C with two on board and an
open class ship with full ballast. *I typically see 500fpm dry and
400fpm on tow with ballast. *It is easier to find qualified tow pilots
for a trike than a tail-dragger.

Just to add to what Tom has said, our A150L/180hp also has a STOL kit
and we changed out the Cessna tow hitch that was limited to 1200lbs
max tow weight to a TOST setup that is good to 1800lbs. We use a
180hp 172 as a backup towplane but it is a real dog compared to the
150 with an O-360.
