The International Cessna 170 Association

Talked to them at the AK Airmen gathering this weekend, They said they made a fixed pitch for our 8 bolt engines and since it's a wooden prop it falls under the TCDS. Anyone have any experiacne using MT fixed Pitch? I am looking for performance like with the 8042 seaplane prop?

fravel STC You can find him hanging out on the backcountrypilot's forum.

Just wondering if anyone knows why the papers say it was made in 50?

Got everything install, put a whole new set of standard springs and the new tail wheel setup, Night and day difference in ground handling.

Changing to the new style tail wheel bracket is on my to do list. Any idea where to get the kit and/or parts?

Thanks for all the help.

Has anyone ever heard of a "heavy duty" tail spring?

The local parts people said they have one of those in stock, about $30 more than the one spruce lists, although for Alaska that about right for the same part?

here are some better pictures

I can't tell if the top shorter spring is there and just inside and i cant see it or what. If i get the five spring set from Spruce it should work?

So i have done as much research as i can, It is a 48 170 rag-wing. There is only four leafs in the tail spring. Do i need the spring for a B model? I am installing a baby bush-wheel and thought it would be a good idea to replace the tail spring and i just don't want to order the wrong item. https://...

Has anyone got a field approval to run one of B&C's light weight alternators on their 170? I am looking for 337 help.

Thanks
