Control yoke rods
The control yoke rods on my 170 have some rust and I don't like their appearance. Anyone done any work on them to clean them up? What steps have owners taken to make these look nice and shiny? Will I damage any seals if I try using navel jelly or steel wool and a bit of fine oil? Is it a major job t...

Thanks guys. Already a 170 club member and have used this site extensively. It's great. Velvet sent a list of places to buy manuals. That will be good. And I've printed off the owners manual for the 56 model under the members section. How about all the hanger necessities too? Ladder, wax, cleaning s...

List of new owner's operating essentials
OK, I can hardly contain my smile. Just accomplished a life long dream as my wife and I are the new owners of a '53B. My question is what things should a new owner have on the "wish list"? Besides tiedowns, oil, cleaning supplies, spare tailwheel tube and a small tool kit (great info found...

Good compression. Chrome cylinders. The guy says it uses 1 quart in 5 hours. Should I be concerned? Is t...

Prebuy knowledge
I learned how to fly in my Dad's 48 170. Now have the bug to buy a 170. Besides a good pre-buy and joining the Association, what words of encouragement are you willing to share? What should I be especially aware of or shy away from? Where's the best place to learn more about this topic?
