The International Cessna 170 Association

Great video. Can you post a picture of how it mounted?

Looking good. Love to see the original airplanes rebuilt as original!

Thanks for posting the pictures.

Frank... oh so many places to see and so little time! Might need it to be a little closer than CO to make it! George... I am maintaining 4 sims now so they have me busy, busy! I will watch for you in the halls! Wish I could work from home! With as hot as it is I might need to produce some more movie...

Thanks again for the comments. If you couldn't tell I REALLY love my 170! It is the perfect airplane for me.

Wish I had the time to make the conventions in far away locations so I could enjoy the adventure of flying the 170 cross - country, again. Maybe in another season of life.

After two years of filming and a few sessions on my new iMac I introduce my 170 movie.

Come along for a ride in our 1956 Cessna 170B...

Dan, Most of the people who would holler “cheater” have not spent hours bent over backwards like a banana, compounding the underside of their wings. I owned a swift before the 170 and I painted the belly and bottom of the wings just like you did. It was the best thing I ever did on that A/C. Of...

Sorry for the delay. It is Diamond Silver Metalic - Paint code L97A.ZA. It really does look good on a polished airplane even thou some call it "cheating."

Please post the paint code on the forum. It looks really good and I might use it on my project.
Thx,

Will do. Wasnt sure how fast it might be needed. In my opinion it is the best match for the silver. You stand back 20 feet and you cant tell it isnt bare metal.

Does anyone know of a standard paint color and brand that matches polished aluminum? I want to paint the ailerons and the wings are polished. Thanks, Steve Hi Steve, I recommend Diamond Silver. If you shoot me an email I can look up the paint code. Here are the results on an airplane... http://pica...

Just been reading thru this thread and had a few ideas. At one point I attempted to host a site (C170.com) with such a gallery but the software to run it was over my head so I let the site go. Now that I have learned a few things we might try again. I have plenty of space on my web site (dtlinn.com)...

Thanks Doug..... My plane had the original paint when I bought it, so it was easy to just follow the lines. I would be happy to take some detailed pictures if dgkirk wants them...... Still working on getting mine to shine like yours! Has to be one of the nicest B models I have ever seen. Here is on...

I landed at Nut Tree for a pit stop today and was approached by someone who had owned a '56 170. After talking 170's for awhile he went back to his hanger and gave me an original owners manual in excellent condition with 3476D ser.# 27019 written inside the cover. If the owner is out there it is yo...

I started out in the One Filthy (150) and then after I finished my ticket started flying with friends in Champs, Cubs and a Stinson. Was 19 yrs old when I bought my first airplane, '46 BC12D Taylorcraft. 8) Flew that for 6 years and then bought the 170. Actually owned them both for two years before ...

Or maybe the back of it is full of crack and THAT is why it is priced so high!!!

Ah... like the lists I have seen... a few that are on my list... Sigh for a Merlin - Henshaw Flight of the Mew Gull - Henshaw Nine Lives - Deere My Secret War - Drury Most of my reading is biographies - not so much fiction.
