The International Cessna 170 Association

Thanks, yes it is. They are really accomodating too, so if someone wanted to fly to KAUG 17NM away, im sure they could get picked up too, but 2300ft should be plenty!

Hey y'all, We just stayed at Beaver Creek Maine for thanksgiving and it was wonderful!! I (and probably many of you) have been watching Beaver Creek be built via social media, so being able to finally go stay there was awesome. Its a 2300ft grass strip on 80 acres with a nice modern A-frame cabin, i...

Heres a recent shot from our Thanksgiving trip up to Beaver Creek Maine 51ME, such a cool location and definitely friendly to 170's with a 2300ft grass strip.

I’m primarily making flying videos for close friends and family, but I have Been taking feed back from everyon...

I just found that mine was swollen, so I used the opportunity to upgrade to the lightweight Odyssey SBSJ-16 with the F. Atlee Dodge Battery Box STC... the battery is in the $190 range, and the box is in the $480 range.... its a lot of money, but I will report that the battery starts the plane up gre...

I had the same issue... I was just going to add LED nav/strobe lights and a switch when I started and I ended up with all new circuit breakers and all new wiring in my plane (except for a few wires that went through the firewall). However, in the end I was much happier knowing what was behind the p...

This has turned into a bigger project than I set out to do!!! 8O :lol: :lol: Almost every project does! Very good effort here. You could swap your pedals from the co-pilots side and keep the original look whilst you hunt for a pedal. At the same time you can clean all the rudder tube blocks and che...

So I got the F Atlee Dodge SBSJ-16 Battery box, and a Hawker Battery from Spruce.... Since mine was swollen, My Master contactor solenoid was working but looked old (old Style), so I figured no is the time to avoid drilling the 2 extra holes and get the newer style. https://live.staticflickr.com/655...

Jim, All the rudder pedals are off now. I have been keeping an eye on that one, I have the newer style to put on, and I can fully investigate where the problem is. Rich, wow, that after picture looks really good!!! Yes you're right, some times its tough to walk back in the hangar and see it all apar...

Don't worry!!! I am not replacing fuses to get unlimited resets!!!! 8O Like you stated, If a system fails in flight, and the flight can be continued without it, that is the best course of action. but i am more updating them to get rid of the problems causing the fuse/fuses to blow....or ones that ar...

Doug, Yes thanks, I do plan to label the breakers with a label maker, clear background with white lettering for now (maybe something nicer later on). and yes you are right, I do plan to make better schematics, I have the original, the Alternator conversion schematic, then the additions I've made (To...

Hey thanks, Yea that is a picture of the old seal coming out. It was a single side of metal, so installed the wrong way. Good point, I'm sure that original high draw strobe had a lot more interference. Yes I definitely feel like every time I pull something apart it ends up better!! Last time I did w...

Hey everyone, I am in the middle of upgrading to a PlanePower Alternator, and removing the older fuses for Circuit Breakers. I found several things along the way. I tried my best to mic my wiring and do the calculation, it appears to be 10AWG while 8AWG is the minimum, so I pulled a few things to up...

Hey everyone, This is my first post here that wasn't a reply..... so please feel free to be :evil: :twisted: if its in the wrong place! :lol: :lol: A few weeks ago I asked some friends if we could do a Pumpkin Drop at a local Grass strip, and they really put together one heck of a show. If this work...
