The International Cessna 170 Association

None of the other "Aeroquip" lines in the acc. section have fire shield on them.Does this mean I got to go back to SPRUCE again today?

If a frog had wings...........in case of a total electrical failure you could prolly get some where to gitter on the ground before you lost oil pressure, fuel pressure (in case you had installed an electric fuel pressure gauge to get the fuel line out of the cabin) & eng. power (in case of an el...

All the emphisis on heat resistance must come from jet plane exrerence.28 years of flying a 170 into & out of the shortest & roughest fields outside of Alaska & the great north west & never used enough brake to get anything even close to hot! I use regular rattle can paint to keep th...

I have heard stories (unverified) of 170B's giong inverted under the above described conditions.Wonder if anyone has first hand experience?

A perfect example of "Why some dogs bite their people"

P.S. The point being that that 60 amp breaker going to the alt never "popped". If it had been a fuse I am confident that it would have "blown" before that wire was fried.I also am pretty sure that if I hadn't turned the master switch off that there would have been more damage to ...

I think I said that I think fuses are safer than circuit breakers, no big deal ,just an opinion anyhow. :D My 170B has the original fuse holder panel under the main panel & they are difficult to replace while standing on the ground & reaching in from the outside of the airplane much less whi...

Fuses are for the most part safer than circuit breakers.(IMHO) Circuit breakers that have been in place for years without cycling could become stuck or coroded & fail to unseat in time to do what they are intended to do which is protect the circuit & in turn the vessel or structure in which ...

Ditto Doug,
Just got back to home & found my calenders in my mail.They are great again & I feel very privileged to see that my own submission has been selected for this years edition.

Hey Margot, Do you or anyone else for that matter know what kind of yokes the ones in the pics of your interior are?Just curious cause they are the same ones that are in my 170B & have been since I have owned it. Nice bird by the way,I know you will love flying her like the rest of us love our 1...

So sorry to hear about your airplane & other problem with your medical,seems as if its never one thing at a time.

Guess that big dummy never heard of the correct vice grip repair!

What a wonderful lady she is too! Had the opportunity to meet her in the late 80's or early 90's while operating a DC3 in conjunction with Kalitta Flying Service out of Morristown.I doubt there was a day went by while I was there that she wasn't airborne with students, weather permitting.Seemed as i...

I'm considering a Michel TKM MX11 witch is a slide in replacement for my Narco com120,witch my avionics guy says is not worth fixin.Wonder if anyone has any experience with this brand or this particular radio for that matter.Spruce has them advertised for $896.00.

Bruce now that you brought my attention to it & I went back to reread it I do recall that you brought it up before!Suffering from severe case of CRAFT.
