I don't know - before my time here. But I heard it wasn't very nice to fly. I am looking at putting a syndicate together for a back up tug, for when the main one has a 100 hourly, or needs a bit of TLC which requires it to stop flying for a day or so. I thought a two seater which is fun to fly, and could be used for taildragger endorsements and aerobatics as well as for towing and towing training, and cheaper to run than a Pawnee would be nice.
A cessna 150 with a 180 hp engine does not pass the fun to fly test. From the comments here, a 160 hp citabria would be too gutless I think. A 180 hp one might do the trick. Other countries do seem to use 180 hp tugs.
