Tricycle C170
Moderators: GAHorn, Karl Towle, Bruce Fenstermacher
Yes, I'd be happy to make a web page (or more likely, a set of pages) about vintage/nostalgia 170 things. Again, and as always, with the qualifier that I am doing this only to supplement what TIC170A is doing. If they decide to do this in entirety, I'll be happy to let them.
Since I am already at my quota for my personal web page, I'll probably add it to the c170pics.org site.

Some days ago i saw in internet a pa28 180 tailwheeled, realy really, nice. Do you know if tailwheeling a nosedragger is a lot of work? It would be nice to start doing that here in argentina. And 172 taildraggers deserve to be called (as i´ve seen here in the forum) 170 C!!!!! Because they´re pretty planes without the nose gear.

I havn't done it but a friend is converting a early 150 right now and he says it's more than you think cause you end up fixing other things.Alterfede wrote:Some days ago i saw in internet a pa28 180 tailwheeled, realy really, nice.

Doing a Cherokee is really difficult cause the front gear needs to be moved forward and the gear support is internal to the wing. There are a few but not many.
PA22 TriPacers are probably done the most and prabably the easiest cause they are tube and fabric
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!
