The 170 News

[Onewinglo]

Another great issue of The 170 News. Thanks to all who work on it. A special shout out to Bruce Fenstermacher for the excellent article on the Scott 3200 Tail Wheel. I'm prepairing to to install new leaf springs and hardware so the article was perfect timing.

I met Kyle Fosso two weeks ago when I landed at Anacortes. What an inspiration! To buy a sunken 170 at the age of 15, get your A&P, and do a total rebuild from the ground up. He even has a new fuel injected Lyc hanging on it. He's doing a great restoration job on it.

Yes really.

Do you think it to high or to low? The tire under heavier load can handle higher than 35 lbs.

Can't wait to get this issue. Seems like it always takes awhile to make it out to CA.

Wow, glad you guys like the News. What is it that everyone seems to like about this one?

Its all good, but my favorite is the the excellent article on the Scott 3200 Tail Wheel. (Im a bit fixated on the tailwheel...)

Yes really.

too low, thought i always had to run 45+ where does the 35 number come from?

The Cessna 170 Owners Manual and a sticker found in nearly every glove box door if you have one.

[Bruce Fenstermacher]

I believe the standard pressure is 24 psi for the Mains, and 34 psi for the 3200 Scott tailwheel placarded on the inside of the glovebox of my '55.

Close but no cigar. It's 35lbs.

"......what ever it takes" do you remember what movie that line is from?
