Thanks everyone I was away from the computer for a while - we got it all sorted based on all your info and help. I did have a mechanic involved and unfortunately he didn't have much time working on 170s....I am also not great at this stuff but it seems like and is a pretty basic set up, especially a...

So I adjusted the turnbuckle on the right rudder as much as we could - I believe we got 3 turns out of the right side and it did improve the pedal distance and made the braking actuation much less or non existent ( I did not get to taxi around and be certain no brake was being actuated since we had ...

B model elevators etc... I ended up ...

Thanks will do

Thanks

Ok

Thanks Guys!

I am looking at one off of a 1948 170A - my understanding is that the original 170s are the same as the A model. Is this true?

Thanks

Hi Everyone
I am new here but am looking for a R/H Elevator for a 1951 C170A. I have contacted a few salvage places so far with no luck.

Hopeful someone on here may have one or know where to point me.



Thanks!
