The International Cessna 170 Association

I am more concerned about the Wake Catagory F. I am now considered a Cessna "Heavy". LOL

Folks there is nothing wrong with doing a spin in the 170. The big question which is of all concern to any engineer. Can it be done correctly? The truth is, that if the original poster is seeking spin training for his CFI. In that training, the CFI, teaching the OP, must also explain how an improper...

I know . Should have said wheel Covers not hubcaps. The term hubcaps went out with wooden spokes. I want to reinstall wheel covers C 170 with Cleveland wheels. I have no idea where the original wheel cover screws are located in toolbox. Can some one advise what is correct size Machine Screw is spec...

Hi all, I purchased an engine from a member in Canada. Is there an easy way to get this engine back into the US without a Border Broker? Any recommendations on a freight company? I am seriously thinking of going up there my self but it is 1300 miles one way. Any help or suggestions? Thanks, D

Not to be confused with this Captain.

Rigging is done with elevator faired. End limits if I remember are measured with full deflection in both directions. the reason why you rig with the elevator in the faired position is to get the threads correct for full deflection limits. If you take it apart and play with it, it is easier to unders...

Yes your experience is matching mine, but even with twenty degrees of flap with C of G between middle and absolute aft(half way between the two) at or near gross weight I lack the forward trim I would like for a tail up wheel landing with it set at 13 degrees. I'm wondering if other members were to...

elevator trim tab for the 170B is 12 degrees up and 25 degrees down according to the TCDS. The 100 series service manual describes how to adjust it. Two things about your comments. First Trim tab adjustment is based on control loading in different configurations. I notice that I have to load the con...

Quick question: which Odyssey battery did you use, Doug? Thanks ... R/Lee Lee, my apologies. I just saw this question. As other posters stated. I did a number of things to my aircraft which put the aircraft on a diet. That was how I got the battery approved. I am using the Drycell PC-680 model. It ...

My vote is for the Hangar

I know you are phishing or trolling for a discussion. Noone would be that ignorant to try this and to post stuff like this intentionally.

It is a little more specific. Here is the references. If I fly in airspace that does not require a transponder today, will I still be able to fly there without ADS-B Out? For the most part, ADS-B Out will be required in the same airspace where transponders are required. However, to be sure of the re...

Lee the F. Atlee Dodge battery STC is very good. I use it and I got an approval to use the Odyssey battery with it. Rock solid and 12 lbs lighter. No regrets on the install. Doug

Unfortunately, all aircraft with an electrical system are required when flying within controlled airspace.

My bracket is slotted as well. The frequency of this slotting leads me to believe that the Cessna Engineers were not talking to the assembly line guys in Assembly. There is to many examples with broad serial numbers to isolate an assembly line fauxpaux. My guess is Cessna Assembly line was under dea...
