The International Cessna 170 Association

Anyone familiar with public ski strips in Whitehorse, Yukon. I may make a run over there this weekend if weather permits. Some friends from Whitehorse said Cousins Airstrip, or just land on Shwatka(sp.) Lake.

Thanks, Paul

It has the same style bungi holding the door open as mine!!

Here's his web site, he does some pretty neat prints. Don't know him personally just recognize the name. I think his plane or that plane is parked at the north end of Chena Marina (AK28) were I live and park. http://www.sandyjamieson.com/

Well my goal for the weekend was to put my skis on, as close as I got was putting new threw bolts on (new goal is to do it befor T-day). I need the bolt because I taxi down the road from my house to the airstrip and there's one stop sign I go through. With out those bolts some days there's no stoppi...

Here is the cheap Russian ones they are IRBIS brand. I surfed the net but didn't see any deals, did see a iceshanty dot org site they were talking about using them to anchor there ice shanty's they were buying them at this place "Kittery Trading Post Retail Store" 888-587-6246 some were ba...

I bought a dozen new off ebay a few years ago, figure they cost around $6 a piece including shipping. I don't remember the brand but I know REI in Anchorage had the same exact ones for ~$30 a piece. Shop around all the sports stores, Beaver Sports, Inter Mountain Sports, Test the Water all in Fairba...

Here's my winter project (not a 170 either a PA-12). A 170A might be next??

I also have the above mentioned ash trays, and some origional interior panels.

That was my project today, rebuild my tailwheel. I bought this niffty kit for about $150 at my local parts store, it's made by Alaska Bush Wheels. Only took about 2 hours and minimal profanity. It really tightened things up. The photo is front and back. Later, Paul http://geocities.com/lead_p/ABWreb...

I could not find any STC for the 30-52N which I have. But, I have copies of two 337's for the 30-52N (180 double puck calipers) on 170's mine and someone else's. I'll try to make them emailable tomorrow and send them to you. Then, I guess it would be up to your local Fed.

Ya, the Landes 2500 are 14"x80", mine are 16"x80" with the uhmw. The snowshoe are for stomping a trail usually resulting from not makeing a turn in powder.
Paul

So, has anyone actually run both the Aero 3000's and the Landes 2500's on the same 170 or similarly equip ones? And notice a big difference? Off hand does anyone know the difference in size between the Landes 2500 and 3000, I was thinking same length and the 2500's are 14" wide and the 3000 16&...

I've been petty happy with the Alaska Tent and Tarp cover, the coldest I've preheated was -40F (to get home). It seem to be holding up well with all my oil leaking on it.

The biggest difference is how they smooth out the rough stuff and they roll a lot better when soft. With the Gar 8.50x10 to get them soft you had to drop the pressure down around 12 psi or less then they didn't want to roll and you run the risk of spinning them on the rim and tearing the valve stem ...

Here are some photos for comparison, same plane different tires. I had access to 26 in good years but no paperwork. 8.50x6 McCrearys http://geocities.com/lead_p/8.50s.copy.jpg 8.50x10 Gar Aeros (McCrearys) http://geocities.com/lead_p/8.50.10gars.jpg 26" Alaska Bush Wheels http://geocities.com/l...
