Hey all well my new tug took to the air today, a tad tail heavy butnothing some lead can't fix, 40% scale 222cc, 34x10 prop, 4.88 meters span should be pretty much unstoppable on tow and is very easy to see.

1 30 first flight (2 min 10 sec)

THis is a totally re built Lanier Giant Stinger that we call Pegasus lite.
A well broke in Brison 4.2 (68cc) has successfully towed a LET Reiher 5.4 meter ( 27 pounds ) and smaller sailplanes to date. have about 20 tows on her now and it seems to have good power to weight ratio.

RIP 11-7-2011..totalled....

Now towing, we have a 33% Balsa USA Super Cub (quite modified) with a DA-150 for power. Modeled after a back-country bush plane, this Cub features:

- Scale extended landing gear for prop clearance
- 12" diameter pneumatic wheels for more prop clearance
- Disk brakes for safe ground handling
- Canister exhausts

The Cub has over 100 tows to date. We know it can comfortably pull a 50 pound Salto...

My tug will be in the air by next weekend. It's a modified AMR Trainer 50 with a ZDZ 80 (edit: large outrunner) on the nose. We don't have a scale sailplane scene here in Austin yet but I'm trying to inspire some more club members to become interested.

CLIP0050 (3 min 54 sec)

I have a 3.2m Porter that has a DA 85. At this 4500 elevation im good to about 35 lbs. Mike Gibson 801-403-9374 Salt Lake City Ut.

Here's the famous Townado with a face lift.

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to update the Tug locator near you thread.
I have a Piper Pawnee powered by a DA-85 and a Turbo Porter powered by a DA-100, both have towed at several Visalia events and at our home strip at
Chualar, Ca. I live in Salinas, CA. and would be more than happy to tow for any of you who would like to come to our strip. I can be contacted by e-mail at
demeeks@pacbell.net Your all welcome any time.

Wichita area.

We a Hanger 9 Pawnee with a DLE-111 should pull up to a 8 meter.
1/3 scale cub with 85cc, 6 meter
107" porter with O.S. 33, 4 meter
1/4 scale super cub with Evo 26, 4 meter

Hi all,
I am new to W.A and have an Abell hobby aerial photography plane with a dle 30cc not sure what it will tow as the plane originally had a weak 26cc but pulled my 2.5 meter 5 pound glider ok. I will be ready to fly in two weeks.

Another TowPlane for California area with a happy Preimer Pilot.

I know this ain't much but it'll tow up to a 3 meter ship fairly well. It's a Telemaster Electro with an AXI 4120/18 and 6 cell LiPo and an APC 14x9 E-prop. It pulls a 2 meter ships like nothing's on the back.

Randy

I know this ain't much, but it'll tow up to 3.6 meter and maybe more.
And 3,2 meter F3b fiberglass glider + 2,4 meter Speedster at the same time.
Easy to transport and cheap, but loads af fun.
