Thank you for the answer! Still learning!

Does the new bracket from Air Repair not require an STC? I recently ordered one and will have it installed in the next couple weeks, but it came with no STC paperwork. Im still fairly new to the whole aviation world, but don't all non original parts need STCs? Don't want this biting me in the rear l...

Im slowly learning how the forum works and hopefully won't post many questions that have already been answered in the future! Seems like a great group of peopl...

Sorry if all this has been covered before, tried searching but this is my first time using a forum, so I may prove to be a bit inept. I just bought my first plane, a 1952 170b which is in great shape and is currently in annual. The only caveat is that the mechanic is flagging the Cleveland brakes an...
