US CFR 91.309 outlines towing of "gliders" which presumably
means "gliders" as defined by the FAA (with airworthiness
certificate that says "glider").

US CFR 91.311 says "No pilot of a civil aircraft may tow anything
with that aircraft (other than under 91.309) except in accordance
with the terms of a certificate of waiver issued by the Administrator."

The banner tow guys have waivers, according to my plane partner who
used to tow banners in Los Angeles. I assume one could apply for a
waiver to tow other things, but I'm guessing success could be spotty.
The FAA FSDOs seem to be getting more and more conservative
(no more field approvals, increasing experimental "limitations" list,
etc.).

When I was inquiring about towing an ultralight the FAA said that an "N"
numbered aircraft can't pull one without an "N" number.... this might also
be worth looking into.
