Re: Input wanted on takeoff distance for 180hp, 170A with ST
Thanks everyone for their input. I have a Hartzell constant speed prop, 80 inch. I've got 8.50's on it now at 15-20 PSI. I do have 29's for it. Cylinders have all had magic worked on them by Lycon so it breathes and runs good. Carbureted O-360 Lycoming. I got 7 trees cut down this weekend, about 5 m...

Input wanted on takeoff distance for 180hp, 170A with STOL
I purchased a cabin with 4o acres at 5400 msl. I have about 8 trees to cut down to get 1200 feet of runway. Temps would run around 60 - 75 at my intended takeoff time. Aircraft would weigh about 1790 at departure. Any ideas or experience on the takeoff roll distance? The runway would be hard packed....

Re: Need Fig.25-24, p/n 0512108-5 Bulkhead Assembly Angle -
My 170A, s/n - 19267 has round holes, no slots. However, I noticed when I removed it, it moved forward a bit, causing mis alignment of the holes. There were two small shims on the forward attach points but it seems like it might need another. I will know more when I go back together with it. I could...

Re: Trailing edge skin spot weld question
Well, Mc Farlane says that my flaps require re-skinning to install the trailing edge stiffener. I mentioned to them that a note to that effect would have saved me a lot of head scratching. BTW on Mc Farlane's and Spruce's websites the part is listed as approved for the 170 & 170A but a close re...

Got my field approval for 8.50X6 tires!!!
After two years of screwing with the FAA trying to get a field approval on my 8.50X6 tires, I submitted my information to a DAR in Arkansas named Kenny Blalock. After looking at copies from other 170's, of two previous 337's for those tires with field approvals on them, plus mine that had all of the...

Re: Problem downloading 337's....anybody have this problem?
Hi Bruce, I am going to the MX Library, and then I click on the TIC170A Document Library, and then Misc documents and 337 copies. I get the same message no matter which underlined light blue link I click on, on my Ipad or on my laptop. Is something wrong with my account? I am attaching a screenshot ...
