============================
Don't do it!
Keep the Grumman.
Buy a tow plane.
And get rid of the husband.
Insurance will be less that way.

I would guess that it might even attach with some bolts to the aft bulkhead
and require the tailcone to be removed. David you know for sure.

I would assume putting this on your plane would require a log entry right?
Would having that log entry in one's log book have an effect on the resale
value of the aircraft? Not all that different form having a towbar for
towing your giant mobile home on your F150 would effect the resale value of
said truck.
unless you've made other plans, have a great day...

Does anyone have a picture of the AA-2 Patriot that was to be the 4
seat follow on to the AA-1? I'd love to see what it looked like. I
read that the performance wasn't up to expectations. Is this true?
Thanks.
Bruce

American Aviation AA-2 Patriot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The American Aviation AA-2 Patriot was a prototype four seat, all metal
aircraft that was developed in 1970-71 by American Aviation of Cleveland
Ohio.
[edit]
Development
After the market success of the AA-1 Yankee Clipper American Aviation turned
their attention to developing a four seat aircraft. The American engineers
started with a clean sheet of paper and designed a new aircraft. This
aircraft was intended to be produced as the American Aviation AA-2 Patriot.
The AA-2 was quite different from the AA-1 in that it had doors instead of
the Yankees trademark sliding canopy and an oleo in place of the Yankees
spring steel tube nose gear. The aircraft had provisions for retractable
gear to be installed on a later version, although the prototype had fixed
landing gear. The AA-2 was powered by a 180 hp (134 kW) Lycoming engine.
The prototype, registered N488AA, was completed in 1971 and test flying was
commenced early in that same year. Aircraft performance during the test
flying process fell far short of the design goals so the project was
abandoned and the prototype eventually scrapped
