:D :D :D OK, you all held out on me? After replacing the $2 lithium battery, $65 backup battery, $175 data card, & checking all the antenna connections, I was beginning to think there were no more sattlelites in the sky. "Aquiring sattlelites" was as far as I could get. Called Garmin t...

I was really curious about how much lighter the fabric wings were? "Beginning very late in 1948 with SN18730, Cessna began producing the all-metal 170 - single strut and with a dorsal fin identical to the one used on the C195. The plane had an all-metal wing (actually saving 10 lbs of weight ov...

Most I've seen are a PVC pipe stuck through the luggage compartment wall & suspended above the cables from above, by hangers of choice. On the interior side a PVC Cap is all you see.

Walrus Tusk, that's what we call our's. And now that the right one is bent back it really gives it that Classic Walrus look. Go down to NAPA and get the 7" chrome muffler extensions for $5. They're a real girl magnet.

Would you ALL agree to delete your post back to the toilet paper idea, if I started the deleting by deleting this one? :oops: I think this has steared way off from the advancement of a Classical Airplane.

I've moved to an Ultralight / 170B strip - don't think you should land there! So when you fly over, slow down, and I'll come up and take you to an 800' strip I've located on the backside of Mt Nebo. Also, we should practice up on dropping toilet paper to hunting camps. Yes, that will be Fun! What I ...

Now, we just had that discussion about VFR pilots flying IFR (punching holes) and I was told it's not proper. Raining Coons n Posum's here Fri and part Sat.. Silverbird was grounded in Palestine, all we could do was chat on the computer about it. Did Green-Streek win the 170 awards?

Excellent response Bobby :wink: I really like the vacuum pump on my 170, that has been in service about a million yrs with no problems, but I'd never say that here. It would get an ENORMOUS debate going again, like 170A vs 170B, Avgas vs Mogas, 180 gear vs 170 gear, etc.. Is there any way to LEGALLY...
