Hi All.
The SRGC at Tocumwal also use a Cessna 150.
It has a 150HP motor & tows without any dramas.
It also has tricycle undercarrage which to date has not caused any
problems & allows any endorsed pilot to tow.
The club has looked closely at upgrading to a 180hp motor, but the
cost & extra weight make it an unsound proposition.
Rebuilding the 150hp motor with some mods should produce 160hp for
virtually no more money & no extra weight.
Bernie.
I flew one of those back in about 1980 and remember being very
impressed. Lilely the extra 10 HP will make it even better. The O-320
at 160HP will still run on any unleaded 94 octane Avgas that might be
forced on us.
