New Caretaker! 170B

[Wxbee]

Hello all,
Thanks again for letting me roam the forums and pick some brains! A big thanks to Miles for all the help and guidance..
I'm the proud new caretaker of a 1955 170B with the 0360 conversion. Needs a few things but nothing serious..... Don't they all!! Pic is to big to upload??

Thank you! i have a bout 25hrs on it already and starting to get the hang of the nose wheel in the wrong spot!!!

Congratulations on a great airplane!!

And hats off to you for including your young ladies in your passion to fly! I always included my kids in every hobby I had and enjoyed every moment. Special memories!

All my best,
Rob

Looks like fun! Airplane camping with the kiddos is one of my favorite things to do with our 170. Enjoy!

I think you meant to say nosewheel in the RIGHT spot.....

[GAHorn]

I think it might also be viewed as the tailwheel being placed in the Wrong Place on many “modern” designs. (and it’s also usually too BIG and “draggy” and complicated, needed shimmy-dampners, alignment scissors, leaky oleo-struts, steering-arms, and often complicated with “speed”-fairings that require complete-wheel-removal to get rid of it….

But it allows many wannabees lacking actual flying-talent to “drive” airplanes…

Need I say more..?
