The International Cessna 170 Association

My transponder antenna is located between the gear legs. I experienced similar issues. I tried a different transponder, which worked for a while then went intermittent, then quit. The avionics shop ramped checked it and , it checked out normal. Then the transponder failed again. Then we tried a 3rd ...

Yes , I am pondering finding a complete setup,.......but,
I am hopeful that, perhaps someone has come up against this, or has just done the paper work because we all strive to do things correctly.
( and if not then perhaps it is time to put together an STC for removing it ? )

So it is looking like no one ( so far ) has any "official" , authority to remove to the parking brake system on our aircraft ??

I called Cessna , and they said they have no service bulletins which they could see on file.
I searched the FAA website for STC's and saw nothing.

No,....... trying to do an import. Do you have any suggestions ??

Does any one have any information on any approval (s),
such as , a service bulletin, a STC , or even a 337 where they approval to remove the parking brake system ?

Hi Kirk, On a different subject,.... do you happen to have an equipment list for your 58 C-172 ? My brother is in desperate need of one an has ordered one from Cessna 3 1/2 weeks ago and they say they have it but cannot find it. He needs it to complete his import to Canada, and has been waiting for ...

We hoisted the engine, (if I recall ) about 5 or 6 inches, which permitted us to he sump off.

This sounds very simlar to my situation,..... with the "blue" paper shop towel. We changed the sump, due to corrision, around the forward drain plug. when we removed the oil pan, the gasket broke at the rear case, so we pulled the engine. Some how , unknow to myself and the mechanic ( AME ...

MMO By type certificate B-727-100 M.90 and B-727-200 M.88
I have not flown this type, but how often would they be flown at or near MMO ?

I have been wondering how many guys here, in the 170 association, are current, or past DC-3 rated pilots ?

I am currently type rated and flying a DC-3T .Who else out there, is or was a DC-3 driver ?

I have 2 props,
I have a, C172EM 76 55, which gives me 110 kts TAS
My other prop is a C172EM 76 49 which give MUCH better climb performance, but only 100kts TAS. ( same RPM )

My Brother - inlaw has a C172EM 76 53 , freashly overhauled, (zero timed ) for sale $1,800

I heard a rumor that Transport Canada, was having a follow up meeting on this subject ?

Any updates out there ?

Last night I pulled the oil screen, ( beside the oil filter ) inside the screen, was a piece of shop paper towel, a piece 1/3 of a sheet. :oops: We have no idea how this got into the sump ??? We put the oil back in and ran the engine , oil pressure came back up to 40 psi, and stayed there at 1800 RP...

I did both of these items,....... still no flow.
Next we put 4 washers in the oil pressure relieve, still no flow.

We then completely removed the oil pressure relief valve assembly, and had lots of oil flow
out of the oil relief valve hole.
