Need Approved Data for Release Mechanism
Our club is purchasing a Cessna 172 for a towplane.
We have the Cessna drawings for the tow hitch installation. What we are looking for is an approved Form 337 for another aircraft that shows the inside release mechanism. If anyone has one that we could have a copy of it would be greatly appreciated. Roger |

Roger I sent you via email some doc and pdf files of documents that might be of help in installing the tow hitch and release handle in a C172. However, the email kicked back, even after removing the false email characters. Jim |

Jim
Would your drawings have the relase handle on the panel? All our towplanes seem to have a floor handle and it is not ideal for emergency access.

Cessna's installation uses a rope outside the airplane
and running in the window. OK for a weekend, but not what we want for a permanent installation. I received Jim's data and it should be just what I need. Thanks.

No drawings for the panel release. I've heard of such but never seen one.

Did you end up using the 172 for a towplane and installing the tow hitch? Our commercial operation has a 180hp STOL kit 172 that we currently use for rides and instruction. We would like to use it as a backup towplane for contests and possibly for winter operations when we typically store away our primary towplanes. How did things work out with your 172 towplane? Thanks, Warren |
