The International Cessna 170 Association

Had some good flying weather up in North Central Arkansas on Saturday. I enjoyed my hour of flying very much. Landed for the first time on my farm place. I am still building confidence in my landing skills so I've been staying with what I know but Saturday I said today's the day. Loved nailing it.

Arkansas is sounding gooder and gooder, hey Bruce!! Believe it or not we have medivacs in Arkansas as well.

That really sucks for their family....i guess my Christmas wasn't so bad after all.

dj2790,

I think I posted the link correctly to another discussion about this if your interested. Not sure I posted the link corrected in here so if not just search the hanger section for micro and you will see it.

George,

To bad it's 2000+ miles away from me. I suspect that it is being heavily guarded at this point.

Del,
I look forward to seeing that setup.

The last time I was at Gastons around Christmas time they had an airplane crafted from metal the best I can recall that was lined with Christmas lights to give it some detail at night. Since I seen that several years ago I have always wanted to build one of my own to put on top of my shop and during...

I keep my plane at my Uncle's strip which Google Earth says is about 2130' long and around ranges from 1175' on one end and 1220' on the other. I also have a strip on my farm about 3 miles to the south that is 1600' long and ranges in elevation from 880' MSL on one end to 1000' MSL on the other. I u...

Congratulations JP, I can almost feel the excitement your feeling all the way up here in Arkansas.

That is a very nice looking bird as well by the way, dang if it ain't red!

I surely hope all goes well for you, good luck.

I'm about 45 minutes by air. You thinking Will might be able to help me out?

Richard, It looks to me like whoever put the PC680 in my 170 did a pretty good job of putting some material in there to keep it stabilized well. Looks like a hard piece of foam of some type. Of course everyone has an opinion so someone else might not think so. George, I had not considered the reserv...

Well dang!!! Should have posted before buying the freaking Gill. Kind of frustrated that my IA didn't suggest this to me. He said that this battery would likely out live the Gill batteries so he feels the same about the Gill's but didn't suggest the field approval. When I said the battery was kicked...

Forgive my ignorance but if you think back you probably asked some silly airplane questions sometime in your life. So my annual was performed yesterday and it was discovered that my girl was carrying a Odyssey brand battery which does say anything about being an aviation battery, thus was kicked out...

Thanks for the info George. I think I unstood what "Metal Master" was saying but wanted to try to make sure I had been clear about what took place.

Is this something I should notify my insurance about or wait to see if the inspection reveals anything suspect.

Well I called it down but it was more like the tractor pushed outward on the strap until the mains jumped the chocks and the tail wheel was pulled over the 2x4 runner in the same direction the tractor was push on. I guess when the tractor go so far upon the strap it started pulling in a down/forward...

I was thinking Maxinum Overdrive. Thanks for the reply folks. I can't see any distortion but it just makes me nervous to see that much pressure put on that on wing for that long of a period. Exact period is unknown, parked the evening before and found midday the next day. Long enough for the battery...
