Suggested, er, required pubs

Post by 4-Shipp »

George,
A while back, you posted a list of manuals and pubs that we should all have, along with a purchase source. these included 100 series service manual, etc. I think the post may have been on the old sight as my search attempt came up null and void. Would you be so kind as to post it again? Much thanks.

The ones I think I recommended were:

Cessna 170 Parts Catalog (170, A, or B as appropriate, or all 3 on CD)
TCM Overhaul Manual C125,C145,O-300, Form X30013.
TCM O-300 Parts Catalog.
170 Owner's Manual
Aircraft Spruce and Specialty, Co. catalog 877/477-7823
Univair catalog 888/433-5433
El Reno catalog 800/521-0333
The Cessna 170, Timeless Classic (TIC170A publication, click on "home" in this forum.)

The first 6 items are available from Aircraft Spruce.
The first 5 items are available from Univair.
The first 4 items are available on CD from McCurtain Technology 877/603-3578 or http://www.mccurtaintg.com

service manual

Post by zero.one.victor »

I don't have a 100-series service manual. I notice the spruce catalog sez that they don't specifically apply to the 120/140/170 models,but that they may contain useful informatio for these models. Can someone who does have a copy look & see if there's any flap/aileron rigging information for the ragwing 170 or the 140? I can't afford the manual,I spent all my money on cargas & Mystery Oil!
Thanks,

Eric

There is indeed a lot of data found in the 100 Series Sevice Manual, 1962 and prior, applicable to the 170. There is also some rigging data found there. The most complete rigging data however, is found in your 170 Owner's manual. It and the performance data are the best reasons to own that manual. I should have included it in my earlier listing (which I'll add.)
