Atlas, Draw on these individuals that have knowledge of the 170. You sound like a young intelligent individual. Be sure that when you do find the plane you want, that you rely on a person with knowledge and experience with that aircraft. I would encourage you to do these thinks while you are young. ...

Justin,
I sent you a private email.
John

Sorry to here about the loss of another 170. After the shock wears off contact me. I have my 170b for sale. Wife says I'm getting too old to fly. I'll provide pictures and info.

Sorry again and hope all will be OK.
John

Kurt,

The previous owner had removed all seat stops fo...

I agree with George, go with the Concord. They may cost a couple of dollars more, but it's worth the extra bucks. I got tired of replacing the Gill after short periods of use.
John

Amen, I totally agree with you George.

I’ve read with great interest about the importance of correct positioning of the blast tubes that reduce engine oil temperature. I’ve never been satisfied with the high oil temperature in my ’52 170B with a 300A, with “D” accessory case and with oil filter adapter. The right blast tube is ...

Lee,
Save some money and put it in yourself. It is fairly easy to do. I order mine and all they required was the distances between the bows.

We stopped for lunch in TN yesterday and the bus driver said "with the wind you can tell how far your undershorts go".

Bruce, If you need to replace the headliner, you will not feel sorry for the little criters. I replaced mine this month. Kyle, I use the same location for the sticky pads and it works very well. One other point that has not been suggested, I've used the canned foam around the bottom of the hangar wa...
