The International Cessna 170 Association

easy answer. my wings were metallized and the gentleman who had it before me stripped them. so i do not have any cessna clips (640 @ $.83 a piece) and i also have to deal with an extra hole drilled between the holes for the clips. also the mechanic i finally found to do my work is very pro rivet bec...

has anyone got the phone number for the gentleman who has the stc to put rivets in you wings to replace the "cessna" clips.

thanks bill w.

does any of the members have a plane that they have replaced the wings with the l-19 wings and why did you do it.

also who owns the stc and is it still avaliable?

just curiouse

thanks

hey guys, off subject but my ol' man and i have both been tinkering with hho for our pickups. i was wondering if you could list the business name and phone number for the guy in mt ida. i would like to speak with someone who can actually back the kit he has and doesn't sell it for a few grand. if no...

hello, i too have a '48 170. the previouse owner has labled the fuel tanks on the fuel selector as the right tank being 10 gallons and the left tank 22.5 gallons. i am currently trying to get my fourth tank approved because i didn't like the idea of only having 32.5 gallons of gas. my stock inboard ...

wow the label maker looks like the best thing ever. thanks for the info. it will help out a lot. i am really scared of my "vintage wiring" because i also have a 1946 ford with the same type of wiring that had a short and a small fire under the hood because the cloth insulation wore off. th...

thanks guys i will take all this good advice to heart. i am pretty new to a lot of this. i will remain persistant and eventually get it done. one more quick question. is there a wiring harness that one can get for a 170 to replace the old wiring or is it best to just get the appropriate spools of wi...

to start with the mechanic has a super cub and he build it from the ground up ten years ago. i had the thought of a later model 170 because the mechanic loves to annual typical (nose wheel) cessnas and doesn't know much about what i have. i was told by the gentleman who magnafluxed my struts that he...

ok gents, please tell me not a chance of working so i won't try. i have a '48 170 in complete "project form". i am on my third mechanic (the first two passed it on after some excuse & several months wasted waiting). my mechanic is worried about a few things. the main one being he wants...

mike, still looking? '48 ragwing

john, you will have to excuse me for my ignorance of all the forms names/designatores. i am a younger guy just getting into this. i have a major repair and alteration sheet in my logs that show that i had 600X6 tires replaced with 850X6 tires on cleveland model 30-631 wheels. if this would help you ...

i believe the crank has an eight hole flange (it is currently at the airport 30 miles away). would that mean that it is indeed mislabled? at that point can common sense take over or does the crank then have to go back to the shop it came from to be relabled appropriatley? either way i have since cha...

i just had my engine majored and i am afraid i have a bigger problem than before. i see that the yellow tag from the crank that the IA used is from an 0-300D. what model of crankshaft is allowed in a continental C-145-2 ? i was thinking only a C-145 & 0-300A was legal. responce and location of l...

i appreciate the info gentlemen.

thanks a bunch
bill w.

does anyone know if there is an STC to upgrade engines on a straight 170?

possibly an 0-360?

thanks
