Re: 170 Owners Near Portland, Oregon
No you might be thinking of Ron’s plane, same year but he did the Continental IO360 conversion.

Re: 170 Owners Near Portland, Oregon
Hello I'm over in Ellensburg Washington, and I'd certainly be up for meeting other 170 pilots and planes. Perhaps the WAAM in Hood River? Attached is my bird at Indian Creek in Idaho. It's a 52 B model that has been shall we say well loved. It is a factory float plane that spent most of it's early l...

CAP 2000 Float STC? (moved from MX Library)
Does anyone out there know of an STC for installing the CAP 2000 floats on a 170?

Re: MT Propellers
It goes full flat the instant you pull power to idle. Both the 2 & 3 blade - maybe a little more braking effect with the 3 than the 2 blade but both are quite dramatic as a speed brake. Interesting, thanks. What about glide, have you tried power off with the prop control all the way out to exte...

Re: MT Propellers
Hey guys, how does the MT perform in a true power off situation? With well under 10" will it reliably go to full pitch when you pull the prop all the way back? I'm curious because this can make a dramatic difference for power off glide in an emergency.

Re: Quick drain on bottom of Fuel Selector
Has anyone with this belly drain experienced CO in the cabin? I recently spent some time sealing up various cold air leaks around the wing root that blow into the cabin, and now I'm getting carbon monoxide indications from time to time. It appears that the belly drain hole could be the main point of...

Re: Interior pics
If any of you have a chance, please post a picture of what you did to close off the top of the bulkhead behind the hat shelf.
I've got the headliner out of mine and I want to close off the opening.

Re: C170 Cowl Door Pop open in Flight?
For what it's worth I had a cowl door pop open in flight and the results looked much like what KS170A has pictured. There's nothing you can do in the air except slow the plane down and put it in a slight skid, just enough to keep the flapping mess flopped over to one side while you limp it to a land...

Re: fuel caps leaking...too much venting????
I am having gas coming from the area of the gas caps. The gaskets are tight. I am suspecting the gas is coming out of the vents in the caps. Both caps are vented, plus the large forward facing vent on top of the cabin. I was wondering if the pressure from the forward facing went was creating too mu...

Re: Bucking rivets for step
How difficult are the CherryMax rivets to remove? I have no experience with them at this point. One of my concerns is that I'm a bit chunky and I may need to replace this again before I get a new plane

Re: Bucking rivets for step
Thanks guys I'm looking at the options and talking to my mechanic as well. I confess I'm a bit stuck on the idea of using solid rivets for the look, but I suppose no one looks down there anyway. 2582D I may take you up on your offer. My mech said to come over and look at this collection of bucking b...

Bucking rivets for step
Does anyone have suggestions for bucking the outboard rivets during replacement of the boarding steps? To elaborate, the step runs through the outer skin of the fuselage, and bolts through the edge of the seat rail. Where the step penetrates the fuselage skin, the step itself has a wide flange welde...

Re: Aerocet 2200 floats
I have also been waiting to see these. I have a 52 with an factory float kit, and would like to get it back on floats one day.
