HELP!

Can all of you reading this thread name types of airplanes you have used or seen used to pull up gliders?

Together with your opinion about them?

I've only flown a Pawnee a couple of times. But I've been pulled up by Pawnees frequently. And they get you up there in no time. Actually flying the animal, yes it is remarkably simple, and built for LARGE American pilots, as a woman I have to sit rather arms and legs akimbo! More or less lands itself, I found, and seems to be unaffected by X-winds, unlike the Super Cub which has to be treated with great finess in a X-wind. I have groundlooped my 150 Cub at least 5 times. Not nice! Got away with it 4 times......
