Phoenix, Az E-Tug

I thought I would let everyone know that there is a small Aero-tow group in the Phoenix, Az area. We currently are flying a Electric 100 inch Senior Telemaster tow plane. We can currently tow planes up to 15 pounds. We fly every Saturday and Sunday. We usually have 3-4 4Meter scale sailplanes and a few 2Meter. Feel free to stop buy. Were currently flying on the North West corner of Tatum and Dynamite Rd. Sorry I dont have any pictures yet. I will try to add some this weekend.

Tow plane in NE Georgia

I have a Nothing Extra with a Zenoah G38. I can tow up to 4m sailplanes (both glass and wood) and have quite a bit of experience towing (7 years of towing at the Woodcrafters event in Muncie, IN). Nice and gentle towing up to 1000' or until you say 'uncle'. Let me know if I can be of service.

We've started towing smaller 2-3M sailplanes out of the LEAF field in Longmont, send me a PM for arrangements - electric and sailplane field only by Union Res. Pretty consistent thermals when I've been out.

Here is the 1/3rd scale Cub. I'm in Northern Virginia and fly at Horefeathers airfield near Warrenton.

The Cub will tow nearly anything. It has a BME 105 on the front.
