I've done both of what you are attempting to do. If you have a parts manual you will see the exploding view of the bell cranks involved. Follow the picture "directions". It is not an easy task. On the trim tap- set solid the movable parts and then begin dissassembly. Once you have it out r...

I am thinking about buying a good used engine- 145 or 0300. Does anyone know of one for sale?
Thanks

John,
I am glad that you and your family made it home safely
A thought, keep the 170 for the VFR and rent the IFR ship for the not so often trip. It would keep you in the 170 and you would not have to have the expense of the upgrade.
Have a very Merry Chtristmas

You someone please tell me where I can purchase an Overhaul Manual for the C-145?

Type of grass might depend on soil type. Kentuck 31 -it is a broad blade grass, grows on almost any soil type and very hardy. plant thick. It will do best on areas that are subject to traffic. I used Kentucky blue grass however, has less clumping in sparse growing areas and is fine bladed. I like it...

I installed them on my airplane and had simular problem.
I called the manufacture, he gave me new gaskets and suggestion that I clean them again, I thought that I had cleaned up real good, but at his suggestion I recleaned them and installed new and none has leaked since.

I have two fiberglass flint tanks that I took out of my 170B. I would sell for about $100.00 and I think that I have the STC also. I do not have all the hardware to install them but I think I have some hose and guages.

Matt, I painted my bird using Emron and the grey epoxy primer. I followed Dupont instructions and had no problems. The final paint color had to be sprayed I think within 24 hours of the primer or you have to sand the primer. I did that, did not want to work harder, and it looks nice today. I bought ...

True that temperature is a factor as the warmer the temo the better. I have had great success with a product called Aircraft Paint Stripper. I purchased it from our local auto paint supplier. I have used Zip-Strip and other retail strippers with limited success. Plastic does indeed keep the stripper...

My field is 1000 MSL.
I do not take off with a full load. If I am taking passengers then I fly to the local airport with 2500' of runway. I have never had trouble taking off nor landing with this length.

To clarify: I was turned down by this same company that most of you have had good success AIG. I wanted to change agents. The Agent is ok, I have nothing against them , Usually an indepented agent has higher rates. I was insured with AIG already. At renewal time, AIG decided that my runway was too s...

:( My insurance ran out with a company in washington state. I thought I'd try for a better price after reading some of the posts. I called the 800 number listed on one of the above post and talked to Jennifer. She told me that her underwriter would not quote me for the club rate for insurance becaus...
