The International Cessna 170 Association

I am having a no start issue that occurs only at times. Yesterday my Dad flew the 170 and put it away. He started it twice w/o any problems. I went out to the field an hour later and got nothing. I thought maybe the battery was dead. Usually there is a "thunk" from the firewall when you hi...

Nice people and great food.

O.k. O.K. I know its August, I live in Illinois, it's very hot and so humid it feels like a sauna outside and I'm posing questions about flight jackets. I'm thinking a vintage military B-10 or an Ma-1 jacket for this fall. Anyone else sporting any interesting apparel for flying in cooler weather? I ...

Wow! Just incredible.

Hi George,

I am looking at Figure 35 - Instrument Panel. Part number 28 (Screw) goes into the bracket I am looking for. I do not see the bracket shown or labelled. My parts book isn't the clearest...

I am having the Mark 12 removed from my 170a and would like to have the lower instrument panel covers (currently not installed) put back on when a radio goes back in. However, my panel is missing a good portion of the brackets that the panel cover screws go into. I checked my parts manual and I am n...

Greetings to the Association! I'm a long time "lurker", new member and first time poster. I've had the 170A almost a month now and I am enjoying every minute of it. I'm about ready to put the family in it but, I need to do something with the rear seatbelt. Notice that is not plural... It's...
