Thanks for your service Buddy. You are part of the dwindleing few of the greatest generation of Americans that ever lived.

C180 N92CP (Clark's Plane) was formarly (Harold's Plane). I had a P Punk kit that went with the plane when I sold it that I had never installed. I did not know about the heavier nuts at the time.

I found that from the serial number, my prop was manufactured in 1953 for use on the Continental 65 engine in whatever aircraft.

The engine MIGHT turn it, but, I believe my "Baby Duck" has mutch too much drag in the water to be an airboat.

I found a old woondn propeller in the attic of a building that my Daddy purchased in the late 60's or early 70's.

My 1949 170A had the small 3/4" lip.

I had a 170A. Personally, except for the effects of the larger flaps, I don't think there was any noticable difference in speed or performance. The A might have a slight advantage in speed, but very little.

I was planning on something like George's wood skid pictured to fly home with that many years ago, when I found the old Cub tail wheel to borrow.

Many years ago, when making a night landing at a remote rural airport, the stub axle on my Maule tail wheel on my 170A broke off. 'We could not find the wheel in the dark so we spent the night. The next morning I found the wheel in the grass by the runway. While looking around the unattended airport...

I wonder if George can read eather a map or a chart

Arkansas Dave,

We miss both Petit Jean and having a plane very much. Wish we could be there.
