I'm looking into an Aero Tug for my DA120. Any suggestions with today's available planes?

it depends somewhat on what you are towing. the lighter ships will do fine on a larger airframe but the new GPS triangle racers that are 30 plus pounds can be a handful. the best tow plane remains the Pegasus, basically a high aspect wing on an ugly stik that can tow anything behind it. ( if you click on my blog there are pix of Cal Orr's 80lb giant which was towed with a Pegasus with a DA 100. That towed better than the Bidule 170 with a DA 170) I have a 33% H9 with a DLE 111 that is a good tow for the lighter ships, but if the tow angle gets too steep on the heavier ships all he... breaks loose. 120" is not a lot of wing and will be okay for smaller gliders, but it may be difficult to see at above 1000 ft or so. good luck whatever you choose.
