There is no required 500 hour inspection on the mags. Then why didn't you do it yourself???? I am afraid you are wrong with the first statement about there not being a 500hr inspection. I have attached the page from the Magneto Manual that clearly states the inspections required in the top right pa...

it just had a "fresh" annual in July Learaviator, How about the prop? I assume you've got a Hartzell HC-C2YK-1BF? How did the seller comply with AD 2006-18-15? I've got one of those props on my Avcon conversion and am wondering how others are dealing with the AD. The previous owners of my...

Be cautious learaviato. You won't find much sympathy amongst the C170 owner/mechanics for after thoughts. You have obtained for yourself an excellent aircraft with relatively small problems. The relationship with your C170 begins when you get it home the first time, after initial infatuation has fa...

I don't want to sound harsh.....but this is to be expected, if you didn't have a good 170 mechanic check the aircraft out before you bought it! 8O But the real question is.....Did you buy it right?......in that case you have nothing to complain about :lol: Oh believe me, I feel I bought it right, a...

25000.00 and I feel It was a fair price for what it is.

Well got my plane home, and started looking closely at it, since it just had a "fresh" annual in July, and it had only flown 1 hour since. So far: both mags are wrong per the T.C., plus no sign of a 500 hr inspection, and they have a 1000 hours on them. They were installed on a fresh overh...

learaviator...I forgot to mention that the Supplemental Type Certificate # SA421CE is for both Cessna 170A and 170B I don't have much more than you have other than an Export Certificate of Airworthiness for 0-360-A1A that mentions the STC # SA421CE Bill CFZXO 170-B Thanks Bill, yeah, I have a copy ...

I wasn't sure how to read you on that, LOL, but I figured with all the posts you have made, I knew you knew what it was. But just in case you didn't.........

Why yes it is.

No problem at all, I will get that out today.

Sounds great, I look forward to meeting you!

My 55170-B has the O-360- A1A Doyn STC, The certificate was issued to- Mid-America STOL Aircraft, Inc. PO Box 53, 614 South Wichita, Wichita, Kansas 67202 I have seen the Doyn 180 hp upgrade on a number of C- 172 as well. I have noticed a slight difference from the avcon conversion, depending on th...

I am going to try the a friend or two at the FAA and see if that gets me anywhere. Thanks for all the info.
