The South Bay Soaring Society aerotows every month at the Los Banos Creek Reservoir State Recreation Area, Los Banos, CA. This is a premier site for both aerotowing and slope soaring of Giant Scale Sailplanes, with separate runways available for takeoff and landing.

We have a Robin with 3W-80 twin, an Aeromaster Bipe with G-62, a Fly Baby bipe with G-62, and a Sukhoi with a DA-150 - we can tow anything.

Check the Events menu at www.sbss.org for details, also for map, lots of photos.

Los Banos is also the site of one of the oldest organized scale aerotow events, which this year is April 20-22, 2007. Email for details:
scalesoaring@sbcglobal.net with subject Los Banos 2007.

The SVSS club holds aerotows on the 3rd or 4th Sunday of the month from February to June, and September to November. This is a new event started in the Fall of 2006 by Scott Allen of the SVSS. Tow planes are restricted to electric power, but don't let that fool you - Scott's Super Cub has 4.5 HP and can tow just about anything. There is a 1/4 Wilga with 5.5 HP (in the repair shop at the moment) and a new 5.5 HP towplane will be in service starting in March, and hopefully growing participation will encourage more people to bring electric towplanes.

Get schedule info at http://www.svss.org/calendar.htm; you can click on Scott's name to send him an email.

There are quite a few impressive tugs in the area and with at least one official aerotow meet each month.

Our latest tug was very kindly sponsored by Model Flight to create a "workhorse" tug.

Rebuilt from an old 8' stick (with impressive amounts of 'black balsa'), the tug is powered by a Zenoah 62 with a 22 x 6-10, JR 9x transmitter with synth module and RS10DS receiver, JR ES579 & DS589 servos, an MGM pro Accusw2 battery backup system.

Over here in the western part of Australia, I have currently two tugs, and building two more. the two current ones will tow up to five meter and the two new one will tow what ever you wanna put behind them.
two current ones are Biglift and Pawnee. two new ones being constructed are 1/3 Pawnee and 1/3 cub. cub will have a DZY 48 and new Pawnee will have something around an 80cc in it.
The pics are a little shabby, but I'll upload some better ones after the weekend.
Scratch the Pawnee......she suffered an elevator hard over yesterday and is no longer with me. beyong repair after nosing over and driving in under full power. I'm going to miss her. I'm building another one, but much bigger. works out to about 38%

We have a new tug up at Horsefeathers , Virginia.....it's an Airborne-Models 1/3rd Cub with a BME105 twin on the front......engine is so powerful it's set at 65% for full throttle......even at that setting it will go vertical as soon as it lifts off the ground.....not very scale like...but fun!

Glad to see my fellow tug pilots beat me to this posting! I have a Sig Spacewalker with a Zenoah G62 in the nose. The kingpost is located just aft of the front of the turtle deck. She is not as powerful as some of the monsters I've seen here but she runs like a dream and is a gentle, smooth flier. I have thought of trying something even more powerful up front but others in the club think I should keep it as is (why mess with a good thing?).
