Re: 170A with the Sportsman STOL Kit?

Just finished going through all the FAA records. I don’t see a field approval, just the 337 referencing the Stene Aviation STC. I found a post on the forum from 2015 from the owner prior to the current one. There’s even a picture of the kit uninstalled. Who knew that little kit could cause so many p...

Re: 170A with the Sportsman STOL Kit?

Thanks Dave. I didn’t scroll down far enough to see the narrative page but it makes sense now. I just received the info from the title search. The aircraft was mistakenly registered as a B model after the last purchase. They submitted a 337 for the installation of the Sportsman STOL Kit but referenc...

Re: 170A with the Sportsman STOL Kit?

Thank you. That’s where I was looking too. I was hoping there was an approval floating around that I didn’t know about.

170A with the Sportsman STOL Kit?

Good Afternoon, I'm going through the logs of what could potentially be my new 170A but I ran across an interesting entry. It lists the STC for the Sportsman STOL kit but when I look it up it only shows the 170B as approved. I've got a call into Stene Aviation but thought I would see if anyone has s...

Prebuy Near Nashville, TN

Good afternoon! Long time listener, first time caller. I’m looking into a 170a near Nashville, TN and was curious if anyone could recommend a good mechanic near there to look it over. It’s about 50 miles south of Nashville.

Thank you!

Pat
