You'll probably think I'm some kind of anal to ask this, and you might be onto something. :)
How do you set the landing and taxi light angles on a 1955 170B? I have the 100 Series Service Manual for '62 and prior, and page 17-18 has a chart that includes measurements for early and late 180s. Is one of those also correct for my 170? If not, does anyone know the approved method, or have something they do that's better?
Thanks!
John

The "Cessna 170" Book from the TIC170A has the information on adjusting the landing and taxi lights.

Do a search for it and your all set.

Thanks for the answers, everyone! I found the references. It turns out that the numbers for the 170 are the same as for early 180s, except for one measurement that differs by a negligible .01". My tires are larger than stock, so I'll play with it using George's recommendations, and make myself some feeler gauges.
Best Regards,
John
