I wondered how long it would be before my follies showed up on the forums… I wasn’t in a hurry to post it, I still get sick thinking about it. But, maybe someone will learn something from my mistakes. First, the synopsis the NTSB published has a few errors. The airplane didn’t turn hard right ...

This is a great topic for a newby like me. I hope to put much of this to good use when I pick up my 170 on Saturday :mrgreen: I have a question on the wheel landings...

I'm sure other manufactures have models with this feature. Since this is an option that they offer, I'm sure they can provi...

I've got about 90 hours of tailwheel time in a Decathlon. I was wondering what everyone thought about how my experience may transfer to a 170A or B model.

Hello,

I have recently purchased a 52' 170B in the Kansas City area and need a CFI checkout/sign-off to satisfy the insurance company. Does anybody know of one in the KC MO area? A CFI with access to a 170 in the Northern Colorado area would work too.

Thanks,
