The International Cessna 170 Association

I had my 6 bolt, EM 76 53 prop, re-pitched to 49 pitch,
it cost my about 5 or 6 mph and it cost about $300 at the prop shop.

It gave me about 300ft/min better climb.

So,.. will pilots flying that X2 require a tailwheel endorsement / sign off ??

Hi Bruce, I did not have to put larger disc on. Latter on, I did how ever change to the 2 puck cleveland 62-52A brakes via STC SA02231AK. :) This change required me to change disc to 146-13601. I feel that this brake improvement is a benefit, with the 8.00 tires. I think I have a bit better feel and...

Hi Bruce N. I got my 8.00X 6 tires past Transport Canada. :D They agreed that the issue was NOT the aircraft flying or ground handling, with the 8.00 tires, ( as the 170 is approved with the 8.00 tires on Goodyear wheels.) They just asked, to "prove" that the Cleveland wheels can structual...

George, You are correct, not difficult to install. Install the instrument in a 3 1/2 inch, instrument hole. Then 5 wires to hook up. 3 wires to the 3 wires on the transducer. Plus one wire to power with a 5 amp cb. One wire to ground. The transducer, a flow scan 201, installed on the fuel ine. John

They do not manufacture these any more.

I had one on a light twin I flew back in the mid 80's for 5 years, and really liked
it. It a simple, easy to use little unit. I see you can pick them up around $100.
plus the transducers, for another $100 or so.

Hi George, I am in Canada, we do not have field approvals , here ( that I know of ). :( I first went to Hoskins,and I found out, that they got bought out by Sandia Aerospace. Sandia Areospace has since sold it to Instrument Tech, I spoke with a very helpful guy at instrument Tech, who revieved all t...

Thanks for the reply Bruce, I completely understand what you are saying. I just came away from the conversation, feeling that I was being taken advantage of. I understand market value. I obtained my own STC for my panel re-design, It took 6 months and $600. ? It was alot of paperwork, back and forth...

I was in contact with Harry at Del Air, about his STC for the Hoskins fuel computer, for the 170B, after a "conversation" about a few other things, I got back to the subject, of the fuel computer STC, ( paperwork, and permission ) Harry came up with a $500 figure. I feel that this was rath...

Empty weight 1382 lbs , weighed 2008

O-300D, javelin aux tank, 180 gear, steel axels, double puck clevelands, 8.00 tires, KLN 90 GPS ,
KX 165 & KX 155 Navcom,KN 62 Dme , KT 76 xponder, Ka 134 audio panel, ( no floats )

But our VHF com radios can broadcast on 121.50 ?? That is a part of the standat\rd freq. ranges ?
So we cannot use that freq. anymore ??

Yes George,
The passenger O2 mask would drop on approach as the cabin de-pressurized, to approx 14,000 FT
How high does the Hs 800 series have take off charts to ??
Are you still working at CAE ? I am going to Brand X @ DFW, June 14-19th ??

John

Hi Richard,
We do not have take off charts above 10,000 ft, therfore the answer would be no,
unless the manufacturer could supply us with certified data ?

But that brings up an interesting question, what would happen IF you landed at a 13,000 ft asl
airport ?

Yeah Brad, It is real simple, keeping on the center line,... compared to my 170 !, but it is hand eye co-ordination 8) vs feet and eye co-ordination. ( nose wheel tiller steering ) :oops: Richard, This was my first time in Bolivia, but I was very impressed with this airport, very very clean, well ru...

Actually we had nothing to spare, we were weight limited to 27,100lbs ( Gross is 30,300lbs) We were limited by brake energy (VMBE at that weight / temp 20c and elevation ) was 132kts :( V1 = 132kts ( & VNBE 132kts ) Vr + V2 = 141kts VFS = 166 kts engine pwr of the day was 99.9% our runway limit ...
