Re: Ragwing fuel cap seals
I am talking with the Kansas Coil company, and they need the specific part number to fabricate more springs. The C170A/B springs are not correct for the ragwing, so part # 0523207 does not apply. Can anyone provide the Parts Manual # for the flap return spring for the ragwing C170? If I get that sor...

Re: Question about Tail wheel assembly
George/Bruce - do I recall correctly there was more information in a forum here about the bracket kit SK70A52-4? And/or a discount for club members? Annual this year found me need to make the replacement.

Re: Recommended Modifications/Repairs for 170 Owners
Heading into the annual, so I revisited this wonderful post to check on the entries and any new updates. All good stuff, thank you for the contributions. I've put in two items over the years that are worth mentioning. a) Mixture cable/control replacement. The mixture control installed when I bought ...

Grimes Landing Light - another repair adventure!
Other threads have discussed it, but it's worth repeating. Last week I had the dreaded "light comes down, won't go on, won't go back up" syndrome. Not a huge issue for me, just a bit of extra adverse yaw on the left. But I need about 25 hours of night time to wrap up my ATP, so it became a...

Another victory for predatory attorneys
You know folks, I think we live in a modern day Rome. We are fiddling while a few lampreys suck the life out of the system. And unfortunately, they are the ones writing the laws, so we have little recourse to fix it. It all arises from our own greed, of course, without the average Joe to litigate it...

England and Europe
I am living in the UK right now (alas I had to button up my C170 for a while, at least I got my employer to subsidize a hangar for it). Though I haven't flown yet, I have done a lot of research into it. It's a very simple process to get "qualified" with a test flight based on my FAA certif...

Congratuluations, indeed!
Good for you Velvet. I have heard that retirement means working harder than you ever have before. I can't wait to get there so I can get productive again!

Gear stiffeners
Montana - check out the PPonk stiffener kits for the C170. They add substantial strength the landing gear frame/box, and were a most welcome addition on my original C170. I don't put too much sideloading on, but there have been times in the Mojave that crosswinds were putting me well into the test p...

Fuel sample valve
All - I recently had a drippy sampler that needed replacing. I thought that I had gotten some crud into the o-ring and it was not reseating. Turns out the O-ring was basically disintegrated. I am pretty sure they make them out of the proper material (it's a Saf-Air product). I exclusively use 100LL,...

Vertex VXA-700
I had a KX-99 and loved it, but it chewed through all forms of batteries. I went with the Vertex to get a few more features of the ICOM, including the Ham Band (can't get it anymore, alas). I like the temperature indicator, and the programmable light - you can make it any color you want to specify f...

Winds
The magic to short landings is good headwinds. The entire month of May in NorCal has = buttkicking winds. Last night I took the T34 over San Francisco and heard the tower reporting to transport aircraft: "Wind from 240 35 gusting 42. Caution, 20 knot windshear loss on the runway". Ouch! I ...

Firsts
My first flight was before I could recall it. My family was stationed in Germany (where I was born) and we flew back when I was 9 months old. I suspect it was in a B707, but it might have been a DC-8. The first one I remember is a Braniff B727 flight out of El Paso, Texas. Loud and colorful! First s...
