Re: Max baggage weight
My B model is placarded with a 120 lbs max baggage area weight. It's been on there a LOT longer than the 10 years I've owned the plane

Re: ForeFlight 170B Checklist?
That would be awesome. I just entered some conservative numbers based on my experience with 39A. Just flew it from San Luis Obispo, Ca to Red Oak, Iowa. Great flight! And ForeFlight was a great asset.

Re: Summer of smoke

Re: IOWA'S 170
I just spray it on a rag and wipe down the dirty areas. Soot comes off and it leaves the paint looking good.
