New Cessna 170A owner/member

Post by dstates »

Hello all. I just purchased a 1951 170A on Friday of last week. I quickly joined this TIC170A and have already found it to be a great resource. Below is a picture of my new to me plane. I'm sure I'll be asking plenty of questions as I've got a list of repairs and improvements to do... Thanks ahead of time.

Doug S.

By the way, I'm located about 20 mile east of Moline, IL.

Doug: welcome to the club! Looks like a nice airplane. Fly over to Ottumwa some time and I’ll buy lunch.
