The International Cessna 170 Association

Hey all, if you want to fly with the rear seat out....... Buy a Cessna T-41, they came with no seat... and they are a civilian plane too!

PS: the tail wheel is up front!

Here is the answer to this post.... leave the seat in or remove it, if you remove it and fly, and some FAA guy gives you crap..... act surprized and and say...... "Some SOB must have stolen it after I arrived! Boy if I get my hand on them! In or Out... it seems not to matter....... some will fl...

SLMAO!!!!!!!! I knew that the "G-Man" would bite on this one faster than a bass after a jiggly wiggle fishing lure!

Not so... See link below..... The standard tip color is red, however you choose blue or yellow. http://www.cattoprops.com/html/propeller_tips.html ALSO: McCauley Met-Al-Prop Repair and Maintenance Handbook, dated 2-15-55 says specifically: 14. Finish a. If the repaired propeller is to be used in the...

Whatever the books says is NOT important to me, I have a Yellow tag from the prop shop, the prop works good, the plane flies great, and the FAA will never know what the hell is in front of them when they look at my black prop with yellow tips! So I will continue to fly it like it has been for anothe...

(1) Removal, installation, and repair of landing gear tires. (4) Servicing landing gear wheel bearings, such as cleaning and greasing. (18) Replacing wheels and skis where no weight and balance computation is involved. Being that I am a big fan of the FAA, I was wondering, how the above items (1,4,...

I think in theory that at cruise or maybe full throttle that idealy the plane should go that distance forward in a single revolution of the propeller. But then you have to go back to the static RPM and figure if it is in specification to the TDCS, and all that good FAA stuff, or just bolt it on and ...

According to "Western Propeller", the 10% is in degrees of pitch and not in inches, the props are pitched to a certain degree angle at particular locations along the length of the blade, the 10% figure is in degree angle at those locations, so I don't think it is as low as 49" vs. 51&...

The best thing you can do for a 170 or 172 with the 0-300 is throw away that cruise prop and pitch it to a climb prop less 10%, the less 10% +or -is the propeller shops FAA tolerance for a pitch. Mine is 51 inches less 10%, I can just make 2700 level flight full throttle, so less pitch would over sp...

Ford Econoline PU did not have a fold down side, but Chevrolet Corvair did have that as an option on their forward cab. Corevair had a dual skinned side, Ford is a single wall skin. (Remember Hoss Cartright hitting the bed side of the Corvair and saying... "look Ma.... no dents")

I am beginning to wonder if "G" is the FAA type guy I have been refering to, because if "G" WAS or IS a FAA guy...... none of us would be flying today.... we would all have been grounded a long time ago! George is just the canary in the coal mine a lot of the time, even if he doe...

"G".. I am not angry, I am stating FACT... I have given you (the forum) many examples of FAA incompetence, why is it that you.... 1. can not.. 2. will not.. realize that these "GODS" you so admire are also humans , and as humans, they can be arrogant, power abusing bureaucrats wh...

"(I know this from personal experience when I flew for the state of Texas and we ferried aircraft to paint/interior shops. Not even the state gov't was let off the hook by the FAA inspector. No fine or penalty was imposed, but the incident was recorded and well-known throughout official-dom wi...
