The International Cessna 170 Association

I'm purchasing a core C-145-2H engine to keep for parts to suppliment my own as a spare whenever time comes for O/H, or possibly even build as a complete spare over time to swap out in the future. It doesn't include cylinders or camshaft, but does include some of the accessories (Bendix mags, start...

they no longer support the 0-300 so they do not update their manuals on it. Or maybe they update their manual through service bulletins. For instance there is SIL99-2C 09/16/2014 CURRENT LISTING OF SEALANTS, LUBRICANTS & ADHESIVES AUTHORIZED BY TCM and SB96-7C 02/09/2005 TORQUE LIMITS and a few...

Continental does not, in the smaller engine overhaul manuals I'm aware of, have words to the same effect as Lycoming. However it has been reasoned that since Continental has taken to updating their overhaul manuals through the SB process that in effect SBs are mandatory. I don't think that reasonin...

Double check the fine print. I looked into them last year on a Lycoming for a Cardinal I was thinking of buying. I seem to recall that the advertised price was "minimum", and that your engine may need more. If that's the case, it most certainly will. Both Lycoming and Continental publish ...

A certified part will be any part that has proper documentation. ECM new cylinders/parts are certified parts, as are all Superior replacement parts, they have what is known as PMA, or Parts Manufacturing authority, IOWs the FAA has blessed them. any used part bought should come with a 8130-3 sheet w...

It would be very easy to instal when the belly skins were off.

Oh and some 52's don't have a heavy spar which limits their G load envelope and also lowers their value.

back in the 90s, I had two good friends killed when the wing came off a CJ-6

At the airport today I talked to my FAA Friend, He says Voorhees is correct, special purpose can not be carrying of passengers.

He asked, where the Yak was built. (Russia or China)

There is no way a Yak would be in restricted category. Restricted is for special purpose such as aerial application, fire fighting, etc.. It is eligible for Experimental Exhibition and sounds like it is group 2 which is good because there are fewer if any maintenance requirements. You should be get...

Isn't Transport Canada pretty strict about modifications to aircraft, i.e.: no 337s, only STCs or approved mods? It would seem to me that import from there would be a lot easier than the converse. This plane is in the Experimental / Exhibition category. I don't think 337's and STC's apply for getti...

Is is just a condition inspection?

Yak 52 is not amateur built, it will get a restricted certificate and what ever that certificate say is what will happen.

Has anyone been involved with importing a plane from Canada into the US? It would be in the Experimental- Exhibition and was once registered in the US. It's not a C170, It's a Yak52 I'm trying to figure out the process/cost. Thanks! -David IT's mostly paper work plus an annual and AD compliance. I ...

A couple things GA, what do you mean "IF" I get PMA. It's not that difficult. It is a manufacturing side of the FAA. They are not who most folks form an opinion about. The folks that I have already talked to say that aluminum that has already been used by the OEM is not a major change, it ...

I first said that I would get PMA, so lets not loose our lunch over the sake Of an argument.
But first things first, the resounding lack of orders make this all a moot point.
