The International Cessna 170 Association

Miles, I saw your plane when leaving the Tall Pines is was about 8am. I wanted to meet and say hello didn’t see any movement around the plane Congratulations on your award. I sold my 170 N2935D 3 weeks ago I have my Skyhawk to fly around now it was on display at the Red Barn this year N5744T.

Tom I can send you a picture of the codes on the can. Send me your E-Mail it needs to be tinted just a little darker.

We are looking for the paint can now. Brent just told me it must be at home and not the shop.

Thank you very much for the compliments about 35 D. Means a lot form a fellow member of the Association!!!

A chrome shop in Ft. Worth Tx.

I just had my control wheel tubes re-chromed this spring. And replaced the rivets with original Cessna rivets. The rivets ran about 80.00 for each one. The cost for my tubs to be chromed was 90.00.

Frank, the Rosen’s are in Jay Pratt’s 185.

My thoughts on Rosen visors may be quite a bit different than every one else. Put mine in flew for about 3hrs with them. Hated the Rosen visors they came down to low for me. To close to my face, not dark enough. Don’t wear glasses or sun glasses while flying. Like the old solid Cessna factory ones.

Dennis, glad to give you my two cents worth. E-Mail at texasgram 06 @ yahoo.com with your number. I can tell you several stories about all the original items I have researched on the 170's. My 170 is a 1955 so your 172 would be very close.

Checked with three chrome shops in Ft. Worth. All of the shops only do the regular bumper type chrome.

Thank you for the information, I have numbers for chrome shops in Ft. Worth will start calling tomorrow.

Does anyone know what type of chrome Cessna originally used on the control wheel tubes? I was told it was called "New Chrome." Tanks in advance.
PS Ordered four of the original rivets.

Yes you can get this log book from Cessna. Ordered two last year. Inside the front cover shows Form P122-13 for the yellow log book. Good luck!!!!

When I purchased N2935D, it was in need of a good polish job. I started the process with a rotatory buffer using Nuvite grade's 6,7,C,A, and S. Then, after that process was complete, I used a Cyclo orbiter polisher and repeated the same process. The airplane was polished a total of ten times and too...

There's a place in Oregon, contact Dillon Barron. They helped me with some information I need for 2935D. Same interior you have. Check in the directory for E-Mail information For Dillon. Hope this helps Rusty
