Re: [Aus-soaring] Aero-tow question(s)

[Rob & Colleen Moore]

Ron I have towed for many hours with a Tiger Moth and I think CASA would 
have some performance details people have also towed with C150's. it is ok 
with lighter Gliders but may not be suitable for the heaver fiber Glass 
models. have you contacted the Airworthiness bloke at GFA??

G'Day,

To anyones knowledge, (both here in Australia, and overseas) has anyone 
ever used a Cessna 150 or TigerMoth for Towing?
(These are very low power acft and available very cheaply)...

This then leads on to the question, if an aircraft is able to be fitted 
with a hook, how does one work out the engine power requirement? Is it a 
hit and miss affair? Or is there a calculation that can be done?

Cheers-

Ron.
