The International Cessna 170 Association

Dave, The Convention is in Texas the last week of June '07 i believe. Be terrible to miss it since it will be the first one that is somewhat centrally located in quite some time. 8O On a side note, how many members would be interested in a group flight to the Bahama's? Looks like another fun destina...

Thanks for the reply George. I hate to add one ounce of weight to my plane. I rountinely fly with four seats full of 680#s of flesh and the boys are still growing. 8O Also I am not one to trust a battery tender hooked to my plane for a month or two unattended either. What about a solar panel maintai...

Well after toasting two Gill 25 batteries in two years its good to come on here and find some type of reasoning to it. My plane has a 50 amp altenator on it, and in the summer I do not get to fly very often due to hay baling season. This leads up to the point my battery gets weak and when I do get t...

George, One important point in this apple to oranges comparison is the fact that the original retail price of the KLN 88 was $5895.00 which is a big difference than that of the GPS 3 at $449.00. I would hope King supports something that had such a price tag until the last one is dead. Just goes to s...

Frank, Please trade oil dipsticks with George so his plane will be 100% original!!!!

Get a 170A and you won't have to worry about it, plus they are faster!!!

Hey Dave, When are you going to install a web cam at Petit Jean?

I have put 680#'s of human flesh in my plane on numerous occasions. That computes to four adults at the 170# average used in POH. On our trips to Petit Jean we fly at 2200#'s with the four of us, full fuel, and our baggage for a three day trip (canping the last time). The listed empty for my plane i...

My engine log has a sticker placed on the second page that reads, ___CAUTION___ DO NOT USE DETERGENT OIL IN THIS ENGINE The use of detergent oil in this engine will automatically void all warranties pertaining to oil consumption. It was overhauled by T.W Smith Aircraft, which is a highly respected r...

Didn't know Clinton had his license.

Kent,

Why did you exclude the A models, Ya scared

Dave, I been to the Walmart's up there. Anybody that could get a pilots license left Arkansas long ago. 8O Just kidding :!: It's not a requirement to own a 170 to be a member. Maybe you could get some people around there with T-crafts and 140's to join and they would fly along at your speed. :D At l...

Well Craig I should have known it was red since most of your other planes had red on them too. 8) That is an awesome looking bird. Since you have been reading through the forums you probably picked up on what I was hinting at. George is a great guy and takes it in stride. Here is the posting for the...

Welcome aboard Craig. Glad you pulled the trigger on a 170. Probably will be your last plane to buy, you've had the rest now you have the best. :D Met you last year at Reklaw when you had the Citabria. We have a monthly luncheon at different locales in Texas that are pretty fun and a good way top me...

Bruce, The reason George has two posts is because it takes him twice as long. That would be a lot more accurate than half the time. Assuming we are talking about his plane and not his typing.
