The International Cessna 170 Association

Words can't describe how honored I am to have received the grand prize at Oshkosh this year! Most importantly, I enjoy meeting new friends and sharing a bit of history!

Dan,
Sounds good, can't wait to see it!
Should be another great year.

99C has been out flying as much as possible. Everything is going great and she is meeting some of her old owners again!

Hi guys! Thanks for the interactions. It has been the most memorable and rewarding trip to OSH out of the 14 years I have been going! It was great seeing all the people enjoy and talk about my project. The stories it brought back to a number of them while they reminisced when they were young was jus...

They mistyped and put my father as the name for in the magazine but yes thrilled to get silver lindy!!!

Great looking plane, Dillon! I especially like it that you took a "before" picture and then an "after" picture in the same tiedown spot. Nice touch. Good luck at OSH. Just curious as to why you did not paint the top of the rudder as in the original? Rudder top was not painted or...

Thank you guys!

The original Mcauley prop,

Sorry I should have been more specific

I.have seen a couple different styles now.. Which are the original and where can they be purchased??

I have been chugging along on my plane latily... so i have had zero time to update any progress on my blog or here.. sorry fellas! but here is where I am standing.

Dupont veri-prime has more etch but is harder to get as smooth as comoared with the CR series product which is thinner but not near as tough. For interior pieces we use the veri prime. It is also a light color so is easier to cover with your paint color.

True, this is where pictures tell a.thousand words..
i wouldnt think that there would sufficient enough of heat in the rocker covers to.justify repainting them black.. but I could be wrong
ill keep researching. Original pictures are nice so if anyone has some please share!

George,
Why would continental motors switch around with rocker cover colors.. ??
You are correct though.. Owners manuals are not to trusted on everything.. but they do hold some good info.
