170B & 195B

Well I'm off to look at a 170B Lyc O-360 and a 195B both at the same airport. The 170B is a project for resale. It just needs a C/S prop, oil gears, carb float all on AD's and a good radio. I have a new prop but I want the 80" prop spinner and balancer from Top Props for mine. The 195 has a run...

Re: More Mods

Holy Cow 8O After 3 Years 8 Months I just got notified that my STC for my Horizon Tach is being sent to me.

Re: Great News! L.E.D. Lights are now L.E.G.A.L. !!

I got them installed on one of those things called a Field Approval that no one seems to be able to get anymore. I also got an EnerSys Oddesy battery OKed for my 170 Lyc O-360. Losing the power supplies and almost half the battery weight helped the CG and I can carry 2 more gallons of gas in those b...
