My B already has the 175 wings so l already have half the hardware to take advantage of more power. Anyway great plane.

With that said, Fishdoc's plane is still beautiful. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so to speak. I doubt I will ever fork over the money to upgrade mine to more power but it's fun to dream. I love seeing what others have done with our great little planes. Not sure what will happen as my boys get older but regardless what's under the hood all 170s are sexy and, as we are all well aware, they get a lot of attention every time we take them out. With the part 23 reform I suspect that a lot more 170's will not be "original" in the future, which is not a bad thing. I respect you and all the others that strive to keep their planes original and would hope you too respect others that try to make their 170 a part of the their family. At the end of the day we all have the sexy 1950's lines and attention grabbing round tail.
P.s. I am not sure if this the right place for this post.![]()
P.p.s. If your ever on the east coast of South FL look me up, it would be good to see you again. We met at the Gulf Shore convention a couple years ago but we had two really small boys so we did not get to hang out much.
