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 8)

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

So, hi-jacking the thread a bit :) Planning a 170 trip from San Luis Obispo, Ca to Omaha, Ne via Scottsdale, Northern NM and Central Kansas.

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.

Well, I love flying 'em as well but having George along on cross country flights and the occasional light IFR ride would be awesome :)
