Re: Power flow exhaust on 170B-360 Lycoming
Lots of differing opinions. The Grumman Gang certainly has a different take. I read it. That guy certainly does not know much about this subject. I'm definitely underwhelmed. Some of his statements "seem" to make sense on the surface but wouldn't stand a chance when argued by a knowledgabl...

Re: Flint Aero Tanks
Thanks ghost flyer. I'd love to have a few of those beers with you. Now I'm really confused. So what's new?

Re: door catch
These emails are extremely helpful. Now all I need is a way to forward them to my mechanic without copying and pasting. Is there a function I'm missing?

door catch
The spring that holds the door catch out went messing, preventing the door from staying closed. The schematic available from the Association shows the spring part number as 0511247-1. This part has been superceded by Cessna Service Kit SK172-16C, which appears to be the entire latching mechanism @ $...

Flint Aero Tanks
I've only found the short discussion regarding trouble transferring fuel from the Flint Aero tanks to the mains. I'm considering installing the ones with the pumps in our 170B and interested in advisability and experiences of others. Thanks-fred

Re: getting new tires
I'm trying to buy tubes for my tailwheel 2.80/250-4. The ones we had were made in China and performed poorly. I understand those made in Canada are preferred. Anyone know where to find those tubes?

Re: dual puck Clevelands
hmmmm....changing wheels with tires attached rather than changing tires with the season is what I'm going to accomplish with the wheels from ASOD...used wheels and dual puck Clevelands that required some refurbishment...only salvage yard I could locate that had used wheels...haven't had any problems...

Re: dual puck Clevelands
Thanks to all for your responses. The question initially arose from the "RA" (I don't know what that designation is) at Air Salvage of Dallas who is rebuilding the wheels for the 8.50x6 tires so I don't use up the 29"AKBW when the snow is too deep for them. We've found the big tire ca...

Re: dual puck Clevelands
That sounds very comforting. The plane came with both sets of tires. Air Salvage of Dallas was the only place I could find that had a set of wheels suitable for this plane. It's turning out to be much more complicated than I expected. Thanks for your response, it's what I was hoping to learn.=fred

Re: dual puck Clevelands
Thanks to both Bill and George. I'm afraid I should have clarified that my plane is a 170B w/Avcon Lycoming 180/CS Prop, Horton Stol and VGs and 180 gear conversion. This plane LEAPS off(full tanks/2 adults aboard, @ 2500 density altitude) at less than 450 ft with 20 degrees of flaps and lands in le...

dual puck Clevelands
I realize there's been a long discussion regarding dual puck brakes. We have been flying 29"AKBW with dual puck brakes, mostly on sod. I'm buying a used set of wheels to install 8.50x6 tires for winter flying, if the snow ever gets deep again, off concrete/asphalt, to preserve the big, expensiv...
