The International Cessna 170 Association

I have templates for two piece ones, cuz the one piece is a PITA to remove. I just don't know how to use CAD to make it into something I can send out to get made. Based on the 2 piece ones for the 180 that Bushliner makes.

Nice low time original bird. Great find! Enjoy it and fly safe.

Nice looking bird! What are the specs? How did you find it?

The EZ Flap handle is sold under an STC. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/ ... ezflap.php

I just fixed a primer line last week during annual. cleaned the line with sandpaper, flux, slid the piece into place, hit with mapp gas torch, silver solder. done. not rocket surgery here, just silver. metallurgy is neat!

Silver all the way, 56% or whatever. Otherwise it won’t stick.

It might be called out in the blueprints but full install paperwork I don’t have. I could check the parts manual for a Mooney, it would be the same. I’m at work, get back into the hangar next couple days.

I’ll have to dig. Can’t remember where I dug it up in the past. Plenty of planes with AL on them they were totally fine. It’s just than between movement of the motor and resistance of the fuel line there can cause the AL fitting to work harden over time. I’ll go see if I can find it, lotta backlog t...

Spruce. It’s a KS4 bearing, on their site as KSP4. MS number is 27645

To be clear it’s not a rod end bearing but a bearing pressed into the elevator horn under the LH horizontal stab where pushrod exits the fuselage.

These holes are brand new, never been safetied to! Hate it but is what it is.

And here’s the results. Airframe TT 3600. Motor 1360 SMOH. Prop 245 Both flap tracks on left wing need to be replaced - parts on order Bearing at elevator pushrod to horn replaced New fuel selector installed Fuel tank drains were never safetied so that’s done Found two radio knobs and one small scre...

Hopefully my mechanic I work with will be fine splitting the skin so as to not remove the whole flap well skin then. Won’t know about the z brackets until we get in there so hopefully good and won’t have to wait on more parts. Thanks for the info. Will keep this thread updated as we get into it.

Any updates or pics on how it went? Mine is in annual now and the LH outboard track failed the no go gauge. Tracks and rollers ordered from McFarlane. Got all the paperwork to study. Seems straightforward enough, just time consuming. Is that the consensus?

Cheers

That’s awesome! Thank you.
