Cleveland Brakes and Wheels.

Here's another one from the rank beginner: Am I right to assume that putting a new set of brakes and wheels on my 170 might be mandatory (or if not mandatory) a good Idea?

Re: True cost estimate of Yellow Tagged engine case and cran

Hmmm. So depending upon my luck. A crank will be 5 to 10 thousand. I also have no prop at this point so a prop of some kind would have to be purchased. Thanks for the info gents.

Hard work "was" so 19th century. Everyone is right about the soda. However; I can't eat a submarine sandwich without having my waistline increase immediately.

Re: True cost estimate of Yellow Tagged engine case and cran

I was asking what people thought a reasonable price for a yellow tagged counter-balanced crank and the cases for for a C-145 might be.

Keep Blood Pressure Down: Don't eat roll on $100 burger.

Try keeping your weight and blood pressure down by not eating, bread, pasta and pizza. Have you ever noticed how America got fat when everyone started eating pasta, pizza and fast food hamburgers in the 60's? Also: In theory:The 8O 8O $100 Hamburger could be a bit cheaper without the roll.

O-300

What models of 0-300 are appropriate for the 170A? I have a project 170A with no engine. I am looking at an 0-300D. Is this ok?

Re: 170 Landing Gear Attach Block

so what makes the L-13 even uglier is when one flips one up on it's nose because of the big radial engine weight up front.
