The International Cessna 170 Association

Hello everyone, First time posting on here, I am currently in the middle of installing a new AvCon O-360 upgrade. I am wondering if anybody had any comments or advice, as well as most importantly, if anyone had the installation drawings from Bob, as we seem to be short a page or two. Any help on th...

I had the privilege to meet Gen. Cardenas at the San Diego convention when Duane Shockey invited him there to speak. In 2013 I twisted Duane's arm to help me get him to speak at the Pine Mountain Lake Aviation Assn. (http://www.pmlaa.org/newsletters/2013-02.pdf) dinner that year when I was President...

Like Forrest Walton, I bought a pair of new assist straps from J.W. Duff in Denver for $65/ea. P1010645.JPG ...

Hi Patrick,

I'm curious where you found one of these striker plates. Mine just cracked and I am looking for one myself. Brand new from Cessna = $237

I'm sorry I didn't see discussion earlier. I have been flying my 170B (N3454C) with a Doyne O-340 for some 1,300 hours with absolutely no issues.
