Vacuum strong enough to pull epoxy into a crack will easily crush the fuel tank. Blocked vents have been known to crush fuel tanks. I dont remember the dimensions of the 170 tanks off the top of my head, so a here's first approximation 21 gallon volume X 231 cubic inches per gallon = 4850 cubic inch...

Looking for a top and bottom engine cowling for a 1954 170B. If you have any or know where I can get some please let me know. I think that mine are beyond repair. All the best and thank you in advance to the wonderful members of this association. You can contact me via the membership directory emai...

That's some choice parking.

German WW2 helicopters. Who knew? I guess my education is not yet complete.
Might be a late night on the internet geeking out on that subject.

I worry less about vehicles poorly modified by amateurs than stock vehicles poorly driven by the inattentive and the incompetent. There are so many more of the latter.
