Just picked up 58D (1955 170B) last Friday and everything went well except a couple of minor glitches. Plane only was flown 9 hours the past 10 years so am curious how the engine will hold up. Has about 400 SMOH (1600 TT on plane). The previous owner paid for the annual and repair of the 2 middle cylinders as the valves where stuck. We put about 3 hours on it this weekend and seems to run great. Time will tell!
Anyway, I was wondering if there is an easy way to identify whether this has the solid axles or not without pulling the wheels off. Another pilot at our airport has a set he wants to sell me and if I don't have them, I will purchase the set from him as he didn't need them.
Also, any advice on skis? It came with a set of Schneider 4000 penetration skis I want to install this winter.
Thanks and hope to meet some of you in the future!
