Hi all.
Our club needs a 3 meter+ plane for towing gliders..
And have the Pawnee in mind, but this 1:4 scale is to small..

Anyone with info of a larger one, 1:3,5 or so?

Any manufacturer is of interest! :)

All the best!

We use a full scale Pawnee to tow our full scale gliders so the Pawnee is a good tow plane. How big are your R/C gliders that you are attempting to tow? Given enough power the 1/4 scale should be fine. PM me if you want to know more about our full scale club or need some pictures or videos. Jim

Up to 1:2 scale gliders, 20 kilos or so.
A 1:4 size is to small, enough for the same size gliders, but not what I had in mind..
We like the Pawnee, it`s so ugly that it`s nice...
Also, a good old fashion kit is less expensive than a 1:3 Wilga and others..

Any good suggestions for a different type of aircraft then, and where to buy it?
