Hello Stuart,

Thank you for all the information. I am planning to install tow hook on our C180 in India. I badly need STC for installing hook otherwise local regulatory authority will not spar me. Please advise,How can get SSA copies of STC's issued to Javelin Aircraft Company for tow hook installation on Cessna 180.

Ahmed

Ahmed,

Have you contacted the Soaring Society of America about getting copies of the STC SA65CE Drawing? The Soaring Society of America (SSA) owns the STC rights (like a patent) and you may need to buy an SSA membership or otherwise pay for the right to use the STC.

I have a poor quality scan of the drawing for the bracket which I got from the SSA. The STC was for a part (bracket) that was manufactured by Javelin Aircraft. The STC Drawing does not give all the dimensions needed to fabricate the bracket but I was able to fabricate a workable version from the drawing by using dimensions from the Scott Tail Wheel assembly on my Cessna 180.
