The International Cessna 170 Association

I sympathise, I am 6'3" with a long torso. I got the pilots side seat reupholstered with less foam when I bought the plane and just fit. Be aware the these seats are old, and lightly built. I have resisted pulling the headliner because it looks good, but that will give you a few inches. I have ...

I went in there several times with the O-300. Not too heavy and respect the DA and you will find it quite comfortable. Depart to the North and its downhill all the way to the sea:)

It is a beautiful strip in great condition and well worth the visit.

I’m hoping to go, I am ashamed to say I have never been that far north in Canada.

Im sure you know that the vane is (not easily) adjustable?

I don’t have any pictures on hand but I will search. I took the doubler out of the inside of the air scoop, and then added a simple strap to the front lip as there were several cracks. The cowling was the toughest part of the whole install for me, I had a real hard time getting the two sides of the ...

I had a single cht on my O-300 on the back right cylinder. I always assumed that was the hottest and thats why it was there. I have heard other opinions on the hottest cylinder, but am not knowledgeable enough to confirm.

Yes the second picture is what I have.

One was finger tight when I got in there and slipping. I did not torque them, but they have not slipped since.

I think it was meant to improve steering on the ground. I agree a solution to a problem that did not exist. I have contemplated taking it out, but since my initial problems it has not needed anything.

I had an issue when I first bought my plane about ten years ago with one tailwheel cable slipping on the rudder cable. Its attached with what I call a ground cable clamp (its used here in Canada to attach or splice ground cables in house construction). If it slips on the rudder cable the tailwheel c...

I have a Stratus and love it. I wish we got weather on it in Canada.

It’s a lovely spot. They will have a fly in next weekend.

I can't imagine the current high prices will stick. I also don't want to think of the collapsed economy that will bring them down. But I think it more likely prices will come down than they stay at the current level. I have to agree, housing and toys seem crazy high right now. Lots of potential pai...

I beleive that there will be 170s around for a while. I think they are currently making the transition from "really practical plane for the money" to something more like "classic that is still a very useful airplane". I find it interesting how many of the "classic" thin...

I’d talk to Greg at Bushwagons east. Top guy. PM me if you can’t contact him off his website.
