Hi Bruce, Thank you for the explanation, I have been a working man all my life like my father before me. My lack of formal training and education has caused me a lot of ribbing from my many stupid questions over the years. I appreciate your kind response without making me feel like a real dope. I'm ...

I'm not sure about the technical data or the math that goes with all this, but I do know that my Dad has a 56 B model (N3525C) and I've flown both mine and his. I like his barn door flaps better than mine, but I can get off quicker, haul more of a load, and I can fly faster than him, with the same p...

Hi Tim, yes I do. There are four 12 1/2 gallon tanks all together. I don't know about being a better pilot, I think it might be more because of the greater surface area of the metalized wings and maybe a little more lift. Thanks for responding and best regards, Jim

Hello again Eric, Yes the other installation is listed on the 337 form. It was done by Ron Twitchell in Turner Maine. He was killed in a 170 accident in 1970. My plane has a modified flight manual done by copying Ron's flight manual for N3991V. It says in a note in box 7, "Installation simular ...

Hi Eric, I'm not sure how it is approved? The form I am looking at from "52 " must be differant than what you are talking about now. The box I am looking at is under box 7 and says "To be completed by CAA representatives" There is a signature of the designee who is clearly Franci...

I don't have it here, but if you look in the C-145 IPC there is an oil cooler set-up shown. I believe that it uses an adapter and/or fittings at the oil screen, kinda like Geoge describes, but I think the cooler was plumbed to a remote location. I think a guy I know with a C-145 powered Swift has t...

There was a very small oil cooler available on the C-125 which involved an adaptor between the screen and the accy case, and to which bolted the small cooler. It was not approved for the C-145. There was also a Cessna Service Kit which applied to the 172 seaplane, but it's rare to find, and virtual...

Hello, can anyone tell me how to go about intalling an oil cooler in a 1948 C-170 that I just put on floats? I need to know if there is an STC and what the part numbers are for the cooler and oil screen adaptor. Thanks Jim jabdjb@quixnet.net
