Based at Hartford (Brainard).

My annual is due at the end of this month. My wrench tells me that I need a new oil temp and oil pressure gauge. He is telling me that I have to have the Cessna replacement part. (Part numbers 0411016-2 and 0411017-3) doing a search on these forums, these parts are no longer available or repairable ...

Yup, that's exactly what I wanted to hear, thanks, 170C

Need to replace the left-side Cabin-Entry step

Need a WAG of the labor involved.

Thanks

To answer your questions: 1) The landing light is wider than what you may be used to. It is not a typical "Spot" light, but it does not need to be a spot light. It is bright enough and wide enough to see the entire touch-down zone with no problem. As I said, it lit up a good two thirds the...

I had the whelens' installed (both the landing and taxi lights) last week. I flew at night for the first time with the lights last night. In a few words: I love em'! Seriously, one of the best "mods" I've done on my 170A. So much brighter, it's amazing. Taxi lights have a very wide beam. T...

I installed the Avion Control Yokes on two years ago: http://www.avion.com/Products/AvionControlWheels/CessnaControlWheels/CesCntrlWh.html I really like them. I wanted to replace the "originals" because whoever owned the airplane before me inverted the originals, cut off (yes, cut off) the...

Gentlemen: Sorry, guys, I answered my own question (UTFG!!!) There is a repair kit available from Aircraft Spruce ( http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/stcrepairkit.php ) and the airbox is available from Univair ( http://univairparts.com/shopping/shopping_cart.php ) Now it is up to my mech...

So, I was reading my new AOPA Pilot, and read the artical on the new Whelen parmetheus led landing and taxi lights. They claim it is a drop-in replacement for the normal PAR 36 size bulbs. http://www.whelen.com/pb/Aviation/Product%20Sheets/Parmetheus_Series.pdf Does anyone know if these are approved...

I can't believe that anyone could be gullible enough to pay $1250 for "steering wheels" for a C-170. I had the Avion "steering wheels" installed two years ago (Someone, many years ago, took the old, original wheels, inverted them, cut off the cross bar and had them chromed. They...

I applogize if there already a thread for this (I did a search and found nothing), but are there plans for a 170 line at Oshkosh, like last year?

TIA

I did a search, but I could not find a post.. so...

Do any of you have a combination Oil Pressure/Oil Tempeture gauge in your airplane?

This is one of those classic "It can't be that difficult" questions...

The 170 in the picture belongs to Nick Hirsch. I don't know if he is a TIC170A.

If so, I'm really, really sorry....

I'm based at KHFD (Brainard, Hartford, CT). I use VIP Aero at HFD ( http://www.vipavionics.com/ ) Chris does all of my work. Definitly not the cheapest place, but I do trust them. Otherwise, as Kyle said, Sandhill at Hampton is really good, and a great grass strip to boot. Let me know if I can help ...
