The International Cessna 170 Association

Well…. I’m remembering the adage….”Aviation is a small world…”

That looks like a later 172 spinner backplate and front plate…(what spruce sells for 172 A-F models).

That’ll be a magical yellow tag if it’s possible. The FAA has always condemned welded spinners in the past. (Although it was done by an Certified Aircraft Welder to my Baron spinner and it’s now been 29 years and that spinner is still spinnin’ on that Baron.) Wyoflyboy…do you have a pic? I’m trying ...

ghostflyer makes a good point. I used to land at Meigs Field in the late ‘70’s/early ‘80s and it was really a good experience. …AND… it was so much better than later-on having to deal with ORD traffic/delays….and MDW lack of services and terminals that were “dumps”. The company I flew for did busine...

I know past-pres Ron Magos has a 8-bolt McCauley for sale….. but I believe it’s a cruise pitch. Maybe you could re-pitch it…??

I have been told over and over thru the years that Developers have deep pockets and influence with local politics…. and they are almost universally liars. The three events in which I dealt with a Developer…proved that rumor to be thoroughly accurate. One of the most memorable stories involving a lyi...

So, I’m guessing you have a custom-built 6-bolt back-plate..?

Sounds like you’ve made a wise decision.

You’ll find your “perfect” plane…. have faith. and patience.

It seems to me that a “seller” has an airplane with incomplete and inaccurate maintenance records….. and You or a friend might still want to buy it..? If so, be prepared to own a very questionable airplane unless you spend time and money on it to make it legal.

Listed for Assoc’n Member: Tony Ferreira has accidentally ordered the 8-bolt MDM7652 prop for his O-300-D engine (which needs a 6-bolt EM series)…so he wishes to SELL this factory-fresh McCauley for what he paid for it: $6500.

The link you provided is an excellent article, Gary. Thanks for posting it!

Another possibility might be good ol’ JB Weld.

An excellent overview of our Favoirte Mfr’r…: https://harris1.net/hold/av/avhist/csn/cessna_x.htm

There is a rumor which has been passed about that when a new OEM part is sold by the OEM that it re-opens mfr’r product liability. If so…the insurance must be astronomical.

I’ve sent you two manuals on the Carburetor. Notice that in the troubleshooting chart Items 4 and in the section “hesitation on acceleration” (see pics below) the accelerator pump MAY be injecting TOO MUCH fuel…and that the “test” is made from 1200-1500 RPM…Not “idle”. Under what conditions are You ...
