The International Cessna 170 Association

Nice photo of TIC170A board member David Nelson’s (the American, not the Aussie ) 170B taken at Sun-N-Fun by AvWeb in their day 2 gallery.

Please use the UPDATED registration form linked in the previous post. I’m still getting older forms, which omitted the $8.50/person box lunch for the Pictured Rocks Boat Tour, had an incorrect deadline for the registration discount, and didn’t include a link to the convention shirt order form. If yo...

The Convention shirt order form and an UPDATED registration form as well as convention details and schedule information are now available on the Association’s Convention web page.

Looking to go to my first Oshkosh this year with 89A. Is anyone flying out from the SW US? We'll be starting at L00 (Rosamond, Ca) and wouldn't mind tagging along if others are headed that way as well. I'll send my info in for parking. Thanks! Chris 8039A If you can leave early enough we’d love to ...

I’ve had a 50-amp Jasco alternator with Skytronics regulator since 1990 and have had absolutely no issues with it. I had it overhauled along with the engine in 2006 at about 1000 hours and have put over 800 hours on it since then. ACS says this one comes with the alternator, regulator, and STC. You’...

ALL stuck valves (and rings) I’ve ever had in 2300 hours on my O-300 were due to carbon build up (never lead). Switching away from mogas back to 100% 100LL solved the issue for me. (As I’m the only one I’ve ever heard of who solved the issue this way, I can’t say it’ll work for anyone else).

Now that is a JIG

A Cessna-built jig, now owned by Mountain Airframe in Mena, Arkansas. You might want to look them up and talk to Del Lehmann and/or Brett Ham. They have a lot experience with this level of repair to Cessna 170’s.

Fortunately the parts of mine that all the other parts attach to were still intact.

If you’re presently over the Pacific Ocean…you are way BEHIND me. :lol: Actually we’re still at the airport in Auckland, on the west side of the International Dateline. It’s 11:45am WEDNESDAY where I am. I figure it’s 4:45pm TUESDAY in Texas. On local clocks we’re going to arrive before we depart. ...

I’m way ahead of you George, I hope to get most of it knocked out on the 14-hour AKL-DFW leg today.

Also, he hasn’t made his mind up for sure yet, but we may see Brad at the Convention and at Oshkosh.

Some of you have seen this elsewhere, but for those who haven’t: Many thanks to New Zealand member Brad Raven for allowing me in the left seat of one of only four Cessna 170’s in New Zealand. With my wife Karen along in the back seat as official photographer we took off to the north from North Taran...

Detailed convention information and a registration form are now available at https://cessna170.org/about/convention/. The registration form should be in the next FlyPaper as well.

A 170 adds a touch of class to any hangar!

Once upon a time I seem to remember Charlie Beyer in Tennessee finding Trooper Tan for his ‘54 B. His contact info should be in the directory. You can tell him I suggested you contact him.

Miles: Do you still have the installation instructions for your Schroers' Glareshield? I'm remanufacturing one off a C-170A to fit my B, and curious how the wiring was supposed to be run down to switch panel. I won that glare shield in 1985 and it rode around loose above the instrument panel until ...
