well...
I have things that I object to, too. But I've had to plow through so many serious problems in my 53 years that I don't even notice whether someone has a tattoo, or and earring, etc....not that that wouldn't bother someone else, but I just don't care anymore. I like that the big movie star likes airp...

West Yellowstone
Anyone ever flown into West Yellowstone from the southwest? Planning a trip this summer. Any reports on the airport or the general area would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Javelin and Flint?
I don't know the specifics of the installations, but can the Javelin and the Flint wing tanks be installed on a 170A?

glare shield
Some 170s have a nice thick dash, or glare shield. Can you order those somewhere?

3 point crosswind landings
Hi all.... I've flown tailwheel aircraft off and on over the last 28 years. I've always used the wheel landing technique for crosswind landings....until I met a mature lady (75+) in Tucson named Mary who took me out flying in her 170A and taught me a few lessons. She told me that she thought wheel l...

Thank you fellow members--- I realize this is an old tired subject...and I appreciate your responses. 40K+ is not worth it to me...plus, this 170A I have is such a pristine example of the breed, I think it would be best to just leave it alone. I'm going to hang in there with it for now....leave on t...

Yup. No doubt a 180 would do it, but I hate to give up on this beautiful aircraft without a fight, or at least an arm wrestle....
I'm thinking an O-360 180hp upgrade (with exchange on my C-145), Hartzell CS prop, STC kit, installed would run in the vicinity of 30 to 33K?
Anyone agree/disagree?
Thanks.

Thanks. The XP mod would do the trick, no doubt. Since my original post, I have gathered a lot of info. I don't think I will opt for an engine upgrade. Higher HP aircraft have come down in price due to fuel prices. I have searched this site pretty thoroughly regarding gap seals and other airframe im...
