Re: Stall Horn Light, C170b
I just realized something we are also missing... The red lens!
Now where do you find that?
Anyone know a good salvage yard?

Re: Always something to learn…
I sent it out to our Tailwheel Academy network here in Florida, and they sent this info. Hope that helps!

Arcadia, FL, C170 Fly-in November, 2023
Hello all! My wife owns a 1953 C170b and she would love to meet with other C170 owners in Florida. She suggested an "informal" fly-in at Arcadia, FL where you can camp on the airport, and on Tuesdays they have food trucks until the airport closes. Anyone interested? She suggested November,...

Re: DO NOT Slip with Full Flaps
This may not be a popular opinion, but when I was doing C170 checkouts in the 170b, I absolutely did full slips with full 40 degree flaps in the practice area. To demonstrate why you shouldn't. We were loaded in the Utility category, and it was the same flight we did spin recovery. With an aerobatic...

Re: Photo Album
My wife upgraded her panel. Kept the original bulkhead. I think it turned out pretty good with 2 G5's, a Garmin 650xi, a CO detector, and two glove boxes. The 170 actually makes a fantastic IFR machine. We shot a couple of approaches to LPV mins and an ILS. And we got to remove the vacuum system! (A...

Stall Horn Light, C170b
Hello all, The light on our stall horn was removed when a panel was placed in front of it in our 1953 C170b (26055). When we upgraded our panel, we exposed the stall horn again (the horn works), but the light doesn't. So... Can the lightbulb be replaced? If so, Which bulb is it and could we replace ...

Re: Cessna 170B Checklist
New format. My wife decided she wanted to be able to fold the checklist in half and put in "paper-protector" - essentially the same thing we do with approach plates. So here's that format (landscape, meant to be folded in half)! Not much change in the list, just a a few minor tweaks. Added...

Re: Wheel Pants Removal (And not replacing)
Thanks for the clarification everyone! I know the issue had been brought up before but wasn't sure what the latest wisdom had settled upon. I do like everyone's answers, though, legally and practically speaking! (My wife will be taking her Pvt Pilot checkride in the 170, and the DPE previously owned...

Wheel Pants Removal (And not replacing)
I've done my research on the forums, and I think I know the answer, but just to verify: As pilot owner, I can remove wheel pants for preventative maintenance (add air to the tires, etc), but I have to replace them when done... But *legally* I can't leave them off, correct? I need an A&P signoff ...

Re: Cessna 170B Checklist
Updated the checklist again. Minor changes this time.
* Slight change in order on the Pre-TakeOff Checklist (Mixture set before pulling and leaving on the carb heat).
* Typos

Re: Cessna 170B Checklist
G, Always interesting to hear the mechanic/pilot viewpoint vs just pilot (or CFI's) ... One CFI years ago was adamant about doing the ground check, stating, "What if your mixture cable breaks? You'll have no way to shut down the engine! Check it every time!" Ya, and it might snow in Florid...

Re: Cessna 170B Checklist
The checklists look very professional. The only correction I can see is Engine Fire -Flight, should include Fuel Off as well as Idle Mixture IMHO. I have a 170B with a 0-360, if it is possible to have a word format version of the checklist I can adjust for my engine . That would be very useful than...
