The International Cessna 170 Association

The one on ebay is about four times the going price. I had a Javelin in the 170 and now have one in the 180. They work well but for several reasons I'd try my best to get the fuel in the wings if I were doing it. Either the Flint or more preferably 175 wings if you can get them approved.

Just discussing...not arguin'... I'm not sure I'd encourage exploration in the lower end just because the cylinder may be off. While it's certainly interesting to look down in there... there's really not much criteria to judge what is being looked at in that condition... There's no measurements tha...

Not available in DVD but a family classic to be viewed when you're laid up with a cold. Or any other time for that matter. Fantastic flying scenes with Stampes or Tiger Moths or some such. Lots of action.

OK I'll chime in. I was working on my private in 1975 and bought my first airplane, an Aeronca Chief. (Undoubtably the hardest tailwheel type I've flown, and I've flown quite a few types.) One year and 150 hours later I sold the Chief and began a search for a four place airplane. The search started ...

Bonney Lake Eh? Could you perhaps be Jevon Simon, that intrepid avator I solo'd in my Chief on your 16th bithday? We lived a t Glen Cawley's South Prarie Airport for about seven years :) Say hello for me. Loved the photo of Rainier in the background. Very nice looking plane. I see you're a dad now. ...

hey iowa I have a 55 TF1500. It's the only thing I've ever bought all done and I'm lovin' it.

In regard to the Javelin tank and fuel in the cabin. There is supposed to be a vent on the first inspection hole back from the firewall on the bottom. It replaces the round cover plate and has a disk with rubber gasket glued on to it bolted to the vent housing with a spacer that it slides on. There ...

Great one George

From the installation instructions: "Caution! Passengers can damage the seal by dragging their feet across the seal or stepping on the seal when getting into and out of the plane. Ask your passengers to please step into the plane and not drag their feet across or step on the door seal. The door...

Well it was fun to look at this old post. Hey George we agree on this one. Lightspeed!! Now four years old the Y connection to the earpiece broke on Marcys 15XL's. Lightspeed shipped another "newer materials" version no charge. Great Company.

Wasn't that the photo of George?

Nope George, you're not suckering me in on this one.

As for the bigger engine I believe it's what that airframe should have had all along. Except Lycoming didn't make it until 1963 :) With the stock engine we would cruise at 100 knots at 7500 or 8500 feet and it would labor hard to get higher. Sea level climb loaded would be 3-400fpm. But it would be ...

I love my RG-35. Going well into three years now. No corrosion problems or checking for the acid level. You'll love it.

I It comes with a 32 meg MMC data card, which is too small to make much use of the surface map data they provide. So I bought a 512 meg SD card, because my camera can use it, and Lowrance says the unit supports both MMC and SD card types. When you buy a database update from Jepp for this thing, it'...
