The International Cessna 170 Association

Outstanding! Thanks for the effort. Can't wait to get mine...

I just bought a 170 with a Lyc O360. It was the first 170/180 I had ever flown. My first comment was "I thought these things were suppose to be rough!". I have owned other stock 170's and find this plane to be just as smooth as the stock birds. Now I will say that if you don't follow Lycom...

Did it reduce your take-off roll any?

I have a 170B with 0-360, Constant Speed Prop, and Power Flow Exhaust. I find the performance to be outstanding. I'm getting 1100-1200 fpm climb consistantly. And to answer the "laws of physics" comment, yes I do burn more fuel. Performance comes at a price. It's called fuel. I'll take it.
