The International Cessna 170 Association

Just thought I'd mention what a great experience I had at Mountian Airframes in Mena AR. In October, Kathlene and I flew out to Branson MO from Cape Cod. After visiting family for a few days, Kathlene flew us down on a Thursday afternoon to Del Lehmann's shop arriving after hours. I've always wanted...

Brian, thanks so much for the info. After rechecking the angles, sure enough, it is off by 3 degrees. I contacted RC Allen yesterday and they said they can reset the tilt angle if I send it to them. Its a 200.00 flat fee to change it.

Thank you everyone for the respnses. I was at the hanger today and measured the tilt. Interstingly, 7 degrees. What I did find was the floating panel which the instruments fasten to was 3.9 deg., likely due to sagging mounts. I changed them about 15 years ago but maybe it's time again. I will reach ...

Older thread but asking for some help. We installed a RC Allen digital electronic attitude indicator (RCA2600) and a Garmin G5 HSI which also has the electronic AI. I'm having erroneous readings while flying and its not good. The only way I can get the instrument to properly indicate level flight (W...

Evening everyone, looking for some ideas on places to stop during a trip flying a WACO from Battle Creek MI (AZO) to Chatham MA (CQX). Planning to leave May 13, plus or minus. I'd be interested in grass strips and seeing some unusual or fun stuff along the way. I was able to see the Piper museum abo...

George, many thanks - this helps....

I moved my post from another discussion... I have been reviewing various links to treads discussing Fuel Primer Line Fittings. I'm a bit confused as to the part numbers for the fittings running from the firewall to the intake manifold and from the fuel strainer to the firewall. The only exception I'...

I've been reading up on the links for older posts on the fuel primer lines but was a bit confused on the part numbers for the fittings from the firewall out to the manifold and from the fuel strainer to the firewall. The only exception listed seems to be the nipple on the strainer - p/n AN816-2D. I ...

Hi Jim,

I'm out of CQX (Chatham) in the Winter and PVC (Provincetown) in the summer. We should try for a breakfast or coffee stop this summer.
Reach out after or maybe just before you get here this year and we can try something...

Travis, I'm right up the road from you on Cape Cod. Happy to take you up in my 170B - they are a delight to fly , maintain and share with people. Send me a PM (private message) and I'll provide all my contact info. I'm heading south (with the 170) on Sunday the 23rd - so we may fly after I get back ...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll start a notebook
Keep them coming please...

Good Morning Everyone, Thinking about a trip down south. Looking to leave Massachusetts the last week of March, heading south to Sun and Fun, spend some time there, and work my way back. 14-18 days or so. I would like to stop along the way a visit some retired Coast Guard friends, see some museums (...

I used Bruce's templates last year and they worked slick

Greg,

I pulled mine last year and would be happy to walk you through it. I'll send you a PM with all my contact info.
