The International Cessna 170 Association

I have one that isn't cracked but it is shimmed .016" on the od. the modification was because the Spinner kit I bought from Wag Aero wasn't the exsact size as my original spinner. This backing plate ran on '93D for years. Fast forward to 2015. One of my over zealous airport geezers appeared at ...

Now for '93 Delta. Maybe a new "N" number. She's been out so long she has lost her pace in line. Maybe "N170? ?"

New Name? What Goes Around Comes Around - Finally!

Wag Aero . . . Some of their stuff can be less than top drawer. Just sayin.

HIJACCK!! HIJACK! Not exactly weather related but the meteor that came into the atmosphere north of Detroit MI last night, Jan16, was very close to Miles and Karen Bowen. It wasn't made clear whether particles actually impacted the terrain or whether the disintegration of the meteor cause an explosi...

We were out of Taos NM headed to Atchison KS when we encountered a severe vertical updraft. The VSI went to 1600fpm and as I pulled back on the power we were nose down and still climbing. Cold gusts were whistling up through every little gap and the air speed was showing 105mph with the nose close t...

Can you get a photo? Lets see it.

What he said!

First - Thanks Aryana. I wasn't sure whether to make it a "front page post" as there was little current data available. There are still some questions unanswered. Apparently the N number wasn't released but started with N42- - - and someone on the Facebook 170 page knew the pilot and his f...

I had 44 IDF Webers on my '67 Porsche 912. Those were great carbs, but a son of a gun to get the jetting dialed in properly. We have had "Herman", our '67 912, with those 44s since 1987. And yes they are touchy to tune. They also, on rare occasions get a little ice in just the right condi...

I have been a member on and off for several times, but not currently a member. Back in April I got carb icing on the lyc 0360 in my 53 170B and had to put it down in some small trees. Long story short there was enough damage, we decided to part it out. One post asked about carb ice in Lycoming Conv...

Just another goofy OT - well it is about carb ice - from Ole Gar. Over the years had lots of fun with hopped up VW engines on various running gear. We lived on a 1000 acre Oxbow lake in northwest Missouri. In the winter, after the like ice would support 1500 - 2000 pounds, we would race our dirt bik...
