Re: 2022 Cessna 170 Convention - Burlington, Vermont

I want to second that motion!

Jeanne Marie and I had a great time, great weather, and despite numerous obstacles Steve and Maria put on a great show.

Re: Wings not even at rest

And while I am at it, does the P Ponk conversion include different gear legs or just beef up the gear box? Can I visually tell if this has been incorporated?

Thanks

Re: Wings not even at rest

Re: Fairing Screw Reference

Bob, while the IPC calls for a size 8, over time these screws wallow out the sheet or a Tinnerman is forced oversize. Not uncommon. I wouldn't be surprised at all that you will actually need a 10x8. I've never bought a "screw kit". When I have needed a screw I'd buy 10 of what was suppose...

Re: Where were you on 9-11-2001?

I had just flown in from ORD to EWR late on the evening of the 10th and was still sleeping in when I got a call to check the TV. I had been flying those aircraft and those trips, but as fate would have it not those exact trips.
