The International Cessna 170 Association

Checked as per above working fine and no sign of Search and Rescue. Thanks g

All of you guys thanks for your help. I have a hangar day tomorrow so will see if I can get it to work. I think I know the 180 hp 170 here at pitt meadows but I don't know the owner,Al. Thanks again g

After activating the search and rescue guys by mistake I sent the elt for check up and now returned. I am not sure how to set the switched for normal opperation. The ELt has 2 positions on the switch on and off ,while the instrument panel swith has 2 positions on and ARM. Do any of you know how to s...

I have the 300-d engine with 6 bolt prop/crank. I have the recomended prop bolts but find them just a little long even with one washer under the head. The ends of the bolts just touch the cowl and with vibration I worry they would chew on the cowl. Is it legal to put a second washer under the head o...

Still tearing my hair out re low intensity of display and inability to locat install diagram. Just sent Spiro email but perhaps others my be able to help. I have just yanked the radio out and when you look at the back you have a contact bar with 15 contacts on the upper surface and another 15 contac...

I think many of you do lots of actually flying but have any of you tried the many flight simulator programs they now have out to work on technique on those rainy days when ya can't afford the gas? Gary

Gentlemen, wow lots of info all of which I read with great interest. Thanks and I will let you know how it all works out om my plane Cheers G

In discussion re take off there several references to 0ne notch for take off. The newer 170s the first notch is 10 degrees while the older ones the first notch wil give 20 degrees, is this correct? What do you think about 20 degree of flap for regular, short field and soft field take offs ???Gary

Guys Thanks. I did review the possibility of permantly wiring the radio to give half the intensity of the display and I don't think that is the case. I guess I will have to locate the manual and go over it carefully. The unit does have a little eye on the front likely a photo detector but when cover...

You guys thanks again I read all your comments with great interest. I will let you know how I do if I ever get this cotton-pickin' thing off the ground G

I wonder if any of you might help with a radio issue. I have a Bendix King Radio model 97 or 197 14volt new outta the box powered up last week. works OK except the display is very pale for lack of a better description. If you look at a certain angle the frequency numbers practically dissappear. I ha...

For the interior panels for the front of the cabin between the forward door post and firewall, I have a buddie who has some form 172. Does anyone know if these could be made to fit the 170. His 172 is 1966 model I believe Thanks Gary

Thanks you guys. All very interesting and informative comments. I will let you know how it goes. I am around the corner form Kalowna BC where the convention will be next year so mabe will meet you alll then Cheers Gary

After a long rebuild I am hoping to get flying my 170. Having flown 150s and 172s I am concerned about all the nasty stuff I hear about tail draggers. I have checked out on a Citabria but how do you guys with 170s set up for landing. I am sure there are as many opinions as pilots but I would appreci...

I am looking at my inboard rear flap roller bearing and see the inboard surface where the bearing may contact , in fact has worn into the aluminum of the flap. My AME tells me cessna issued a notice that a washer should go on the inboard side of the roller to prevent this from happening. Have you he...
