Kangke monocoupe as a towplane
I am looking to build a towplane that should be able to tow 6meter gliders up to 10kg (22 lbs).
I was wondering whether the monocoupe 90 would do fine as a towplane. (With a mvvs 58 as engine).
Can anyone tell me if this plane would do fine as a towplane?
What modifications should be done to convert it to a towplane?

Power enough, that will be no problem.
Will the plane sustain this power?
Can I put a 24" or 22" prop on this plane, ...

I would recommend the Rearwin speedster instead - it can take a ZDZ-40. Much sturdier airframe. The other good choice is the Dymond Rearwin (110" wing) you can put a DA50 + in that one.
I doubt the monocoupe would tow that kind of load.... even with a G26, which is about the biggest engine you can put up front without ruining the cowl....
