hi fred
yeah i didnt realise that realitively small models can tug models up to 4m+,
as andrew was saying they were using a hanger9 pawne to pull 2.6m+ with no problems thats savage :shock:
i suppose like anything it all about setup and getting everything working smoothly in case off unforseen errors :wink:
the cessna is a really smooth easy flyer more like a fancy trainer if you like so im hoping it will make a good tug and with the mvvs 144 twin 2 stroke its plenty power,
just waiting on a few bits and pieces to come in to start working on the release mecanisim,
thanks for the reply fred

hi lads
i have a 80" graupner cessna 152 with a mvvs 144 twin,
im facinated with glider tuging and was wondering would this model make a good tug?

the model is really designed for a 120 4t so the 1442t has bags off power,

if anybody can advise me with setup and transforming this model into a tug i would greatly appriciate it

thanks ger
