The International Cessna 170 Association

If you look at this 2015 thread, Gahorn ( George ) has a very informative post near the end of the page that shows another Spruce valve and also gives you the AC # that "may" give you some traction with authorization for using and modifying the part on the A models. You may find the AC hel...

I am sure there are plenty of places. However, the shop at Harvey field (S43) has been getting quite the education in weighing 170's if you look at my intro thread to #1000 on here. I had a bunch of work done, and the plane had not been weighed from scratch for a long number of years so I had them d...

Will do. Great information!

Thanks!

What a great post! Thank you for that! In reading the logs I knew the plane had seen the first half of its life in the midwest, and the southwest too I believe. The history of the first owner is awesome to know! I will go back through the logs and re-read the era you are talking about. I had read be...

MetalMaster, A Great write-up, thank you! I won't be flying out anytime soon as I am still learning the plane/rebuilding my flying skills, and will be at that stage for quite some time yet. I also have been watching the reports on the FATPNW page on Facebook about the problems out there with locals ...

Kyle, I got very lucky and found a new 80/42 for a wholesale price. Still very expensive, but worth it for me. I am keeping the 76/53 and wheel pants for that time when my stewardship of this fine aircraft comes to an end so the next owner can decide for himself/herself which way they want to fly th...

Blueldr: I stand properly and humbly chastised. You are right sir! I don't know what I was thinking, but most likely was unduly influenced by my "better half".. :roll: I will say however, that she has come around and is 100% supportive of my current endeavors, for which I am truly thankful...

John, Thank you for that link and the info. Very much appreciated. I am having some of the same problems with the current numbers in that with full fuel and two in front I am out of CG by a slight forward margin. I will go back through the log books again, but did not believe this plane had the lady...

I have two questions that have come up regarding Weight and Balance. I don't want to resurrect a long ago thread so thought I would add it to my plane thread here. I did read the two or three threads I found by searching which helped, but did not specifically answer these two questions. Having just ...

Mine were installed in the upholstery next to each passenger in the rear seat. Someone did a very nice job putting these in here. This pic is not great, but gives you the idea.

wabuchanan works too much, but I know where he keeps his airplane. I will plan to do a fly-off comparison of his two props while he's slaving away on another 80 straight work shift. :lol: HaHaHa! We found an opening in the rain clouds this afternoon........125mph @ 2550 in dense cold air (DM7653) w...

I like Jugheads proposition of a fly-in comparison meeting. Great excuse to get together with a bunch of 170's!

My new 80-42 just left MA this morning it looks like, so should have it by next week

I bought two of those C-172 sticks that George talks about. Cut one off at the zero mark like he said. I fueled the plane and using the stick that was cut off to zero I got two extra gallons usable. BUT.....I may have fueled up into the neck of the tank almost to the cap, which would artificially ad...

I have pulled the knob twice now. Even though I watched them visually check the mufflers at the annual it was not pressure checked. I was checking the CO detecter frequently and paying close attention to signs and symptoms. Funny thing is, way back when I was renting I never gave it much thought. No...

I just recently bought 76C. (I have not formally introduced myself and the plane yet, but plan to soon! ) I have been busy getting settled and finishing my tailwheel endorsement. First, welcome to the 170 world. I predict a very rewarding experience with this great airplane, and the equally great p...
