The International Cessna 170 Association

25+ Years ago - Mice are my speaker Cone Was taking Instrument instruction - deteriorated - Instructor complained Had it rec coned - Extremely difficult to do the research and locate a company that did the refurbish. Cannot remember who did the magic. Had to put great effort to become IFR rated.

dstates, has your Brake Master Cylinder issue been completely resolved? I hope you have had success. It is such a good feeling to stand beside aircraft and push top of brake pedal while a friend is trying to rotate the wheel. Clamping action - repeatly tested. Know before you go. Enjoy your C170 - a...

Commerce took it's eye off the Ball. Yes we had too much paper documentation. Boeing main library 1980s - Key Boeing Librarian stated "I wish it could ALL disappear. He was just frustrated, his customers were ALL over the world using different systems. Share empathy with him. It is simple - ide...

Enjoyed reading all the post.

A couple of "key word" points jump out.

You have a "pilot certificate" not a license that can expire.

You own an airplane - "ownership" is steeped into our personalities like hot tea.

Suggestion

replace center strap screws that go through Plexiglas with Stainless Steel.

recheck compass.

Any thoughts about J B Weld on this simple crack.?

A few of us owner/pilots of C170 have been peering down into the barrel of the disassembled Master brake cylinder. I just wanted to commend the original designer of the cylinder. It is such a unique compact design. Brilliant. Did you notice that there is a lower portion at very bottom of cylinder th...

Dear dstates You can do this. You already know some stuff. My A/P does amazing work w the simple little pump oiler filed w aircraft brake fluid. Helps w two persons working together but not really necessary. A key factor may be to have a clear line from top plug hole of the brake Master cylinder to ...

Your switch is "repairable" Original design was overbuilt. However the assembly of switch components was weak. It involves riveting tensions. Switch passes quality control test in 1950s. HOWEVER and there is always a however. When the panel had switch installed - over the years avionics te...

Try starting at 1850.00 Even a bent prop has value. Tied down outside. Just a few have disappeared from nose. Prop shops know about Legality of prop/engine combinations. They could be a few blocks ahead. An annual inspection does not normally require prop removal. Please ignore most of what I said.

What does this part Look LIke?

How can I tell if mine are missing?

This will be easy fix. You are going to be very happy. Purchase same MS from Ebay, etc. Chuck up in a vise - carefully bend up metal tabs holding the bakelite switch base to cover. Disassemble. Your problem is most likely intermittent operation because rivets not cinched at time of orig install. sma...

Straight line winds 100 Mph +, destroyed small airport.

Curiosity about Errol Musk airplane


It is Red it is a Taildragger. Would like to know manufacturer, model and Engine type.

This question is not about Elon it is about the father.

I hesitate to ever leave a Charger hooked up on a continuous basis to my Concorde AGM.

New smart chargers say it is OK but I don't accept the idea yet.

Am I being too fearful ?

Wow Wow Thanks all for comments -There is so much collective knowledge on the forum .

I am going to print out and place in clear Sheet protectors and build a binder for hanger reference. No PC in hanger.
