Re: LED upgrade landing light
So I just installed the goodies for pilots taxi light and I have a weird problem. When I turn on my light switch to the taxi light position it comes on.

Trim Actuator
Would anyone be able to recommend a shop to repair and overhaul my trim actuator?
While doing my preflight this afternoon, I noticed the rod has a crack where it meets the end.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dre.

Re: What did you buy for your 170 today?
The panel cover is already faced up to the instrument like it should be. I guess I'll try removing a little material with a sanding drum and see it that helps.
Thanks for the help guys.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: What did you buy for your 170 today?
I finally had a chance to install my UMA mainfold pressure gauge this afternoon.
It looks great other than the panel cover obscuring the upper markings.
Anyone else have this problem?

Re: Tailwheel Leaf Spring Advice
I'm planning to do this to mine soon also. I want to change everything from the fuselage down to the ground. I figure since Ill have it jacked up and torn apart, why not throw in a new tailwheel assy too. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

I bought my 170B from these great people in Enterprise Al. They have a gearbox STC as well as a factory Cessna fuselage and wing jig. My aircraft was repaired with their gearbox mod before I bought it. Ask for Leo. Aircrafters of Enterprise Inc 805 Aviation Blvd, Enterprise, AL 36330 (334) 347-7171

EI R-1 Tachometer
I am looking into installing an Electronics International R-1 tachometer in my 53B with a C-145-2. Does anyone know if this tach would be compatible with Slick 6364 mags? Also any recommendation or advice on fabricating a tach drive cover plate?
Thanks in advance guys,
Dre.

Re: Oil Screen Threads
Thanks for the quick reply. We have the best group of people in this club. :D I was installing my F&M filter and ran into the adapter cutting threads into the sides of the accessory case. I ordered a tap to chase the threads. After I'm finished, I was thinking about donating the tap to the 170 A...

Buy the Fuelhawk dipstick for the C-172 with 19 gal tanks. The dipstick has about 3/4 inch below the "0" mark. Just cut the stick off flush with the "0" and clean up the cut. I've checked mine by filling the tanks and going fly for various periods of time. I dip the tanks before ...
