Cessna 182 Tost 337?
I've had a Schweitzer tow hook jam on a Cessna 182.
As we are about to put a tow hook on another Cessna 182, I would really prefer a Tost (like we have on the Pawnee and the Maule), for safety and so that we can share the same tow rope. :-) Does anyone know of a Tost 337 or STC for a Cessna 182? Barring that, what is the best 337 or STC for the "Brand S" setup?

The tiedown ring was not quite aligned with the longitudinal axis of
the C182, and as the tow hook opened, it jammed on the tiedown ring. jer wrote: I'm curious, how did you do that? In article , wrote: I've had a Schweitzer tow hook jam on a Cessna 182.

FYI, I now offer (from stock) TOST Tow supports for Cessna 172......These
have not been approved for C-182 and I suspect mounting would be some different but also should be something that could be easily adapter to the C-182 and if a co-operative FAA Inspector was available I think it could also be field approved. you can see this set-up on my page http://www.wingsandwheels.com/page31.htm along with support systems for PA-18, Husky and PA-25, all are available from stock. thanks Tim Wings & Wheels www.wingsandwheels.com wrote in message ...
