The International Cessna 170 Association

Welcome, Chris! I am based out of KFFC just a short hop away. Will be nice to have another 170 in the area. Once you and your son get everything squared away let's plan on meeting for breakfast at Barnstormers some Saturday morning.

Kind Regards -

Gary - a year and a half ago I tried to purchase just those two pieces from Airforms, but they would not sell them to me because my serial number did not match the serial number spread for the PMA for those pieces/year ... I hit a wall. I spoke with a couple people there before getting shut down. Fu...

Dustin - would you, by chance, still have the templates that you used for the front baffles that you copied ... and would you be willing to share the templates/photo?

Brian

Looks amazing!

Forum members - I had a chance to take Scott up in my 170A this past Saturday morning for an introductory flight. Scott and his family are local; one of his sons currently works at the FBO at my airport and is an active pilot. If you have any leads on a quality 170, I can assure you that Scott and h...

George - shortly after I acquired 62C I had the prop dynamically balanced (I recorded the experience with photos here: https://forum.cessna170.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=14029. There is also a photo with the weight and location). It did make a difference. Since that time I have had a top ov...

We installed an Airtex headliner a few years ago. Here is a photo of the "old" headliner in place before the new one was put in, but the construction of the old and the new were both the same. The fabric on ours (170A version) was "not" sandwiched between the gauge and tank. Inst...

I agree with you, Rich. I find the rudder very effective.

AOPA just dropped a video on their latest sweepstakes aircraft, the Cessna 170B. I am based out of Falcon Field and talked to Christian just after he brought the 170 in a couple months ago. I know - somewhat well - several of the young aviators mentioned in the article, and I will be the first to sa...

This news warms my heart, Bruce.

Finished up the project this afternoon. Why is it (asked rhetorically) that it takes four times the amount of time you think it should take you to do something? The painted yoke overlays were cured enough that I was able to move them out to the hangar this morning. It was good call to spend yesterda...

After a busy travel week I had some time today to focus on the project. My wife was working on her flower gardens at the back of our yard today so I didn't feel overly guilty focusing on the plane for a few hours. I trimmed both yoke overlay panels to size using a Dremel with a cutoff wheel, in the ...

Welcome to the group, Adam. This is a story that I have in common with you: I learned to fly in Piper aircraft when my kids were young, and I had a thirteen-year gap in flying while they grew up and went away to college - my time and money both spent on more important causes. It was the purchase of ...

PART THREE - LET'S MAKE STUFF Earlier today, I drove out to the hangar to put the machine to use. I still had leftover flame-resistant ABS plastic sheet and was able to cut out five (5) total pieces to fit my newly created machine. In addition, I had ordered a supply of standard ABS plastic sheet fr...
