The International Cessna 170 Association

Looking at planning a trip to explore the Idaho backcountry, anyone fly into Johnson Creek with the stock O300? Not to worried so much about gettin in, it’s getting out that has me a little concerned.

I feel for you, as I have the same issue, but have yet to find a good solution. I have wiped grease around it and it slows for awhile. I have just learned to wipe the belly down after every flight, kind of like I do with Rudder my dog after a good walk.

Good stuff, thanks!

Just sent the 170 in for the ADS-B upgrade and was able to get the annual done at the same time. All compression were in the high seventies, but jug # 2 at a 71. At every annual they vary a little #2 two has been as high as 78 and as low as 72, along with the rest of the cylinders #1 was a 72 last y...

I have put 35 hours on the 170B since we purchased her the first part of June, the first five hours were dual instruction, as my insurance company wanted 15 landings and two hours, and it is hard to get 15 landings in two hours and cover all the other things I wanted to cover in the airplane. That b...

Sorry I didn't see you Dave, I was trying to get done, so I didn't interfere with the quick turn around of the King Air medical flight that came in. I would love to get together sometime, are you based in Longmont?

Merry Christmas everyone, just a fun pic of our 170, long before it was restored. The pic was taken in Alaska when it belonged to a doctor, sure wish our bird could talk.

Good stuff, one time years ago I was preflighting a Cherokee 180 on a very cold morning and noticed the bottom of my fuel sample looked extremely cloudy, after a closer look it was definitely ice. The water had crystallized to almost the same consistency of snow. It all drained out fine, but I fille...

Starting to get some really cold days in Colorado, and would like some cold weather advise, geared toward the 0-300, as when to pre heat and when it is safe to fly, as far as engine longevity. I have a rule to pre-heat at 40 degrees or bellow and I install the oil pan cooler block in the cowling bel...

The ADS-B topic in my mind is a very important one, and I have been following this forum pretty close, as this will be my next big investment. I transition through airspace Bravo on a regular basis around Denver International, and the overall thought amongst the old boys that hang out around the FBO...

Sorry for not responding as of late, we have a hot air balloon as well as the 170, and we were busy with Albuqerque the first part of October. We have one other balloon event, down in south eastern Colorado, then some more free time to fly what we want when we want, but really is life all that bad a...

It is the same airplane, it was two Swedish brothers that restored her, one worked for United and one worked for Continental and she does have a lot of Boeing interior parts, they did a wonderful job. They got the paint from Boeing, after Pan Am went belly up and canceled all pending orders, so they...

I apologize if the pics are not showing up, I am a wiz on state of the art navigation, forums, not so much.

Here she is in the hanger, my wife named her Deja Blue.
