Hi Bruce, 2009 has not ben a very good year for me either. I am sorry to hear about your medical issue and damage to your 170. I hope your medical gets straightened out and you get flying again soon.

My 1952 C 170B serial # 20292, has 27 holes in the aileron spars.
My wings have been , changed ( by me ) but as far as the records slow not the ailerons.

Came any one confirm what the latest revision is for the Cessna 100 series Service Manual, ( I think it is 62 and prior ? ) ?
I seem to recall some mentioned that there was a revision a year or so ago ?

They did ship me a small booklet withall there products which does have a up to date parts diagram,
and part numbers. There internet site was incorrect about 2 weeks ago.
