Hi Daryl True re 235+ although can say SuperCub with 180hp conversion is great and is real fun to fly. Nothing beats HP to AUW ratio when watered gliders/open class are involved. Not sure about UL but I can say behind a motorglider towing there in NO slipstream at all !!! - so students have less problems with the aerotow.
