Re: Cessna 170 selling prices (split topic)

The “Black one” on trade a plane is an A model with a STOL kit that was installed under the STC, which is incorrect as the STC is only for the B models as already explained on another forum.

Airplane Storage - Outside tiedown advice request

Tiedown space is $180 per month on a paved surface or $80 on grass. I have decided that I will be keeping the airplane outside with full airplane cove...

Re: Securing rudder when tied down outside

Re: C145/O300 Endurance/Reliability

Every time I pass by the LAS airport, I stop and stare at this airplane and pay my respects to the airplane and crew that flew it. Its hanging from the LAS Terminal Roof by the Spirit / Southwest terminal.
