I had a friend who used a rc helicopter for shooting pictures for real estate people until he was shut down by the feds a few years ago. Its interesting they have the 4 Pound limit. RC guys are allowed 25 pounds and must stay under 400 ft. But like cloud clearance distances and private pilots most ...

I sincerely appreciate the replies, guys. I appreciate everyone's insight and honesty regarding my crazy request. Again, I am NOT looking for a cheap way to own a 170. This is a project and I fully accept the fact that I will not come out ahead. I want to do something like this for the pure enjoymen...

Arash, What do/did you fly? I work for Horizon Hobby. Glad to see someone posted these, I posted a month or so ago to no avail. I seem to recall that same 3-view in a small, dark green, hardback book on single engine Cessnas that my father gave me. To the OP, FWIW, I have large Berkely plans on my c...

I am particularly interested in the B models, a...

Kyle,

I was curious if you had completed the panel overlay for your airplane? I really like your panel layout, and would love to see how the HSI cutout and trim ring ended up looking. Thanks!

George,

What year did Cessna begin to put the chrome emblems on the glovebox? Our '52 didn't have a glovebox, but I if I get a chance to buy it back, I'd like to put on in it. It looks very nice, and give a finishing touch.

Thank you!

Hello guys, This is my first post here, and I'm just posting out of curiosity. My family owned a 1952 Cessna 170B (N2256D, SN20408) essentially since I was born (I'm 23), however due to the lack of us flying and me being fairly involved with model airplanes, my father sold here in October of 2008. I...
