David, I think the word corrosion strikes the fear of God in just about every plane owner. We are on the coast down here in south Texas, and probably live in one of the most corrosive environments in the nation. Corrosion will creep in anywhere the paint or primer (if painted), has not adhered to th...

I am converting my tail wheel steering system on my 53B model, to that of a 55B model, and desperately need a couple of measurements. I need the measurements of slots the cables go through on the belly of the plane, and the measurements for the location of those slots. If anyone who has a 55B model ...

Try to tell the feds a 2003 car manufactured in 2002 is NOT a 2003. If a C172 was manufactured in '56, then taken off the line and converted to 170 configuration at the factory and sold in 57 as a 170, then it is a '57 170, or, was this never done?

when I began, I learned to "drive" a C150, I got my license in one and one half months start to finish. I then bought a 7AC Champ and it took me 4hours of time before I could land it safely, (this was a problem of coordinating turns because the 150 doesn't make you use much rudder). I feel...

Does anyone know of the whereabouts of a '55 C170 tail section? I'm not looking for the tail feathers, but the pulleys, brackets, eyebolts, etc; for the tailwheel steering control system. Any help would be appreciated.

Bruce,
Where did you order your seals and gaskets from? Did they have the required parts in kit form? I'm in the process of rebuilding mine and appreciate the heads up and parts information.
Thanks, Jon B

Good story! Isn't flying in a circular search pattern and looking out the window kind of like putting your forehead on a baseball bat and running circles around it for a while?! I once took a doctor, (vet), out to his ranch where he had some stranded cattle. He showed up in shorts, suspenders, tee s...
