The International Cessna 170 Association

Ken I just watched a you tube video of Reklaw 2020 and got to see your beautiful airplane taking off. Looks like everyone had a great time.

I hope to arrive on Friday morning, and leave Saturday afternoon. Short window, but better than nothing.

Sounds great Dave, looking forward to it.

I’ll have to put 8/8 on our calendar! Your gaggle is welcome at C77 as well. We continue to work on the Jenny, while maintaining social distancing of course. Hope you and Karen are doing well, and hopefully our paths shall cross this summer.

Jack Pelton and the EAA board just announced the cancellation of Airventure. Sad day. I will miss seeing all of my once a year friends! Here is to a better 2021, stay healthy and safe my friends.

Richard, That’s basically what I have now, and I like it. BAS said they can’t duplicate that because their supplier, AmSafe, doesn’t use the 3 bar slide adjuster on my style application. It’s very curious, and confusing. The only thing I can surmise is they look at that adjustment style as a week po...

I am ordering replacement belts for the rear seats on my ‘53 B model. I’m ordering from BAS to match the shoulder harnesses in the front seats. I’ve sent photos of my existing belt arrangement to BAS, and they said they can’t duplicate my exact installation. I am curious, what do others, who have BA...

Thanks my friend found a shop and made the deal.

Trying to find a mechanic/shop in the Phoenix, AZ area to provide a pre purchase/annual inspection on a C170A. Would appreciate a recommendation. I am researching this for a friend, he is considering buying N9955A sn 19315. I don’t think the current owner is a member of the association, wondering if...

Bruce has moved on. He is no longer a member of the TIC170A, and doesn’t participate in our forums. Although I am pleased to report he and his wife, June, are doing well. He is a neighbor of mine at C77, Poplar Grove, Illinois, and I see him often. He sold his 170, and his 140. He still owns a cub, ...

That’s it Gary. I can send it to you, just PM me with your information and I’ll send it out. Oops just got the PM, I’ll try to get it out to you tomorrow.

Well, Katie and I were the lucky last departure from Newton. We waved goodbye, as Steve G, and then Miles and Karen took off and headed east. What a great week! We would like to thank all the folks at EWK airport, all of those folks did a great job during the week, they accomadated all of our reques...

Dave did the DEN Center controller make any comment on your ground speed? If it were me I would have had to! Nice job!

Got my beacon reinstalled today. It is a Grimes G-7740, and I had Tom Leatherwood at Avlite aviation in Paso Robles, CA repair the unit. He diagnosed my problem as a couple of worn brushes in the motor. He repaired, cleaned, and shipped it back for $180.00. It functions perfectly now, and it seems m...

I just sent my rotating beacon out to Avlite Aviation in Paso Robles,CA. They can usually rebuild or repair these units. Tom Leatherwood is who I talked to. I haven't gotten my esimate yet. I will let you know how my experience turns out. I know it will be pretty pricey, but I love my rotating beaco...
