The International Cessna 170 Association

Interesting about the elevation change. What is the grade like there? Wondering if they took the elevation readings at different points on the airport over the years - maybe the terminal moved, etc. That's a big gap, certainly more than would be anticipated by any kind of natural variance.

Thanks Stan, I believe we've met. I organized the Waterbury (N41) fly-in last fall along with Greg Delp and you flew your 17 in (beautiful, but the way) along with another one if I remember right. Will definitely pop in some time to say hi.

Thanks for the tips guys! Hoping to get my first flight in this Sunday, weather and schedules permitting. Very much looking forward to flying this bird and being part of this group.

Thanks Dave, What do you typically fly final at? Owner told me not to bother with the 40* flaps unless really necessary as he feels it provides an uncomfortable angel in final descent.

I will be flying N2481D (S/N 20633) owned by Christine Rusbarsky (not sure yet if she's a member, will discuss with her and her husband Derek Lagasse) this weekend when we meet up for my first flight. I've got about 350 hours total time, but only 13ish in tailwheel, which I just got endorsed for thi...

Good afternoon all! Just wanted to reach out and say hi. I'm a new member to both the Forum and the TICA170A itself. I love in CT and will be starting to fly a '52 170B out of Danbury. I will be helping the owners with it in terms of flying, maintenance, etc. hopefully partnering with them and maybe...
